Grief counselors and therapists in Georgia

I work with adolescents, adults, Veterans, and families navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress management, substance use, and emotional conflict.

I have a particular passion for supporting children and families healing from trauma and disrupted attachment. I have extensive experience providing attachment-focused therapy for adopted children, children in foster care, and their caregivers — working alongside families to strengthen emotional bonds, improve communication, build trust, and address behavioral concerns.

With more than 20 years of experience, I've worked across private practice, community-based mental health, managed care, substance abuse treatment, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. I bring warmth and steady expertise to every stage of the healing process.

Hello! My name is Sam, and I am a Georgia native and a four-time graduate of the University of Georgia. For more than 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting men, women, parents, and teens as they navigate mental health, behavioral health, and educational challenges. Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, and trusting the process is not always easy. However, healing, growth, and lasting change are possible. Now is a wonderful time to invest in yourself, rediscover your strengths, choose joy, and reclaim hope for the future.
