Samantha listens to me and gives me good advice. Sometimes it’s just good to know she is listening to me. She always responds to my questions and always gives me great advice.

She is down to earth and doesn't let me rabbit off track when we are dealing with important things. I'm so glad God worked it out for our journeys to cross paths. If you are looking for a kind, compassionate, and dedicated therapist she is the one you are looking for. She is able to really help me dig in and heal from my trauma and not just avoid it!

Sam has been an absolute blessing. I am incredibly grateful for the time she takes with me, her patience, and her gentle approach. She provides a safe space where I can open up without the fear of judgment, and I truly appreciate the understanding she offers. I hope that our sessions will continue to focus on genuine support, rather than assumptions, as I’ve experienced from others. I’m relieved to be receiving the help I need, and I’m so thankful that Sam was the one matched with me.

Samantha has been an incredible therapist during my journey on BetterHelp. Her biblical approach to therapy was exactly what I needed to recover from depression and anxiety. She always listened with compassion, offered biblical advice, and never made me feel invalidated. Her unwavering support and guidance were instrumental in helping me navigate through tough times. If you're looking for a therapist who combines professional expertise with a faith-based approach, I highly recommend Samantha. She truly cares and will walk alongside you every step of the way.

I took a month off and couldn’t wait to get back with her. It’s so nice to have someone actually listen to you and help you with your problems and notice things maybe you don’t. She challenges me and pushes me to be a better person and I love it and her!
