A peaceful place to be heard, understood, and restored. Rooted in wisdom. Guided by compassion.
I’m a double board-certified Nurse Practitioner providing thoughtful, evidence-based mental health care that integrates both medical and therapeutic approaches. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Temple University in 2019, with a focus in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care, and later completed a post-master’s certification in Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing in 2024.
My clinical background spans the full continuum of care across the lifespan. I have worked extensively with military service members and veterans, gaining a deep understanding of trauma, resilience, and the complexities of balancing mental health with identity, work, and relationships. I also have experience in inpatient child and adolescent psychiatry, where I supported youth and families through acute mental health needs. In addition, I serve as the primary psychiatric provider for a large assisted living community, caring for nearly 450 geriatric residents across multiple levels of support. These experiences allow me to approach care with a broad, nuanced perspective across all stages of life.
I am not the type of therapist to passively listen, if that's what want, please move on. I am someone who listens, but am going to challenge you to change. If you are in therapy for change and really ready for it- then see if we're a fit!
Hi! I'm Sam, I hope to support you through all stages of life with humility and kindness. I believe all humans deserve respect, and the ability to be supported in their journey of life. I hope to provide a place for those work with to feel safe, affirmed, and to move through each length of their journey in their way. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14+ years of experience in counseling and therapy. I enjoy working with adults, teens, as well as anyone who is open to change, or seeking support in their life. I'm strengths-based and person-centered in my approach.
I believe in the transformative power of understanding and embracing our personal narratives as a courageous step towards acceptance and healing. I have dedicated my career to supporting youth and their families through a trauma-informed lens. In all aspects of my life, my passion converges to drive positive change, amplify voices, and celebrate the beauty of human expression.
A warm and intentional place to lay down what you’ve been carrying, feel truly seen, and gently reconnect with the parts of yourself that are ready to heal and grow.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Pittsburgh
Finding OCD therapists in Pittsburgh starts with looking for the right clinical training, not just a general specialty label. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a well-established therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention ERP, OCD therapy, anxiety and OCD experience, or structured support for obsessions and compulsions.
Pittsburgh has a strong mental health care community, with options across neighborhoods and nearby areas, but the best fit still depends on more than location. Some people prefer in-person sessions near home, work, school, or transit, while others use virtual appointments to access more therapists with OCD experience. It can help to compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and how clearly their profile describes their approach. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may differ from one who names ERP training or focused OCD treatment experience, so reading bios closely can help you narrow your search.
OCD therapy in Pittsburgh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you search for Pittsburgh therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and have current availability. You can review profiles, compare specialties, and book directly when you’re ready.
