Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


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.

Healing and growth doesn't require having it all figured out before you start — it begins with curiosity. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, difficult relationships, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place where you slow down, make sense of your experiences, and begin taking steps towards your best possible self.

I'm an LPC in Georgia with over 3 years of experience working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction, and I especially work well with people who know something needs to change but aren't quite sure where to begin. I've worked especially well with people with addictions, looking for stability and self-sufficiency.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed by your ever-growing to-do list? Between work, dishes, laundry, cooking, and cleaning, you're feeling overwhelmed and shut down, and that's not including kids or school demands. Time management is a constant battle; you procrastinate, lose track of time, and miss important deadlines. It feels impossible to stay on top of everything. Your brain feels scattered and you feel like you’re underachieving, despite your potential and the effort you're putting in.

Hello my name is Tam and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, stability, and personal growth. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

My clinical approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, explore patterns that may be holding them back, and develop practical tools for coping and change. I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel comfortable being open and authentic.

I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and complex social stressors. My background in social work allows me to view each person holistically, considering emotional, psychological, social, and environmental factors that impact well-being.

Above all, I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them at their own pace. My goal is to empower clients to build insight, resilience, and confidence as they work toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
