Find a therapist in Florida — covered by insurance

Hi, I’m Samantha. I'm a LMHC based in Florida with over a decade of experience helping individuals with anxiety, depression, work/life stressors, challenging relationships, and adjusting to major life transitions. I specialize in working with young adults, millennials, and pregnant/postpartum/burnt out moms. I aim to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be unapologetically you. In our sessions, we'll manage overwhelming stress, overcome unexpected changes, and dial down big emotions.

I am currently accepting new clients. If you’ve been carrying the weight of past trauma, feeling stuck in anxiety, or struggling to move forward despite your best efforts, you’re not alone. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds who are ready to process painful experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of safety and control. Healing is possible—and therapy can be a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward at your own pace.

I work with adults who may feel stuck in patterns that are affecting their relationships, recovery, self-esteem, or overall quality of life. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing co-occurring substance use and eating disorders, as well as mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Many of the people I work with have spent years using unhealthy behaviors to cope with difficult emotions, trauma, perfectionism, or painful beliefs about themselves. You may understand intellectually that something needs to change but feel unsure how to actually break those patterns. My goal is to help you understand where these patterns come from, develop healthier ways of coping, and begin creating a life that feels more aligned with who you want to be.

In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, live music, thrifting, cuddling my animals, reading, and outdoor activities.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth care for adults throughout Florida. With over 8 years of nursing experience, I offer supportive and personalized care for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, with bilingual services available in English and Spanish.

You have been holding it together for everyone else, and the emotional weight that comes from carrying too much on your own has stopped being manageable. Maybe it is anxiety that will not turn off. Maybe your marriage has gone quiet. Maybe a season of your life ended and you are not sure who you are on the other side of it. I have been sitting with people through exactly this for 40 years. Much of my work is Christian counseling, so if you want your faith in the room, it belongs here. If that is not your path, you are just as welcome. I am licensed in Florida and Colorado and welcome in person patients in Florida!
