Samantha earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Concordia University Irvine in 2026. She also obtained a Bachelor of Science in Counseling Psychology with a minor in Business Administration from LeTourneau University in 2023. After working in an administrative role for several years at a counseling center in East Texas, she is humbled and honored to now sit with clients as an LPC Associate in Austin under the supervision of Crystal Wilkins, LPC-S, RPT-S, CCLS.
Samantha is passionate about people. She considers it an absolute privilege to get to walk alongside individuals during crucial times of life. She has worked with children, adolescents and their parents, and adult males and females. She has experience counseling individuals navigating stress/anxiety, depression, grief, loss, personality disorders, life transitions, faith questions, self-harm, childhood trauma, and relationship issues. She hopes to provide a space where kids, teens, and adults alike feel seen, safe, and supported. She will encourage, challenge, and empower you to live your life as the beloved child of God that you are.
Her own time on “the other side of the couch” as a teenager needing therapy led her to pursue her vocational calling as a counselor. When she is not at the office, you might find her walking a trail with her husband, enjoying a sweet treat with her friends, or somewhere reading a good book. She grew up in the Dallas area, but loves living in Austin, where she enjoys both the city experiences and the abundance of outdoor activities. The freedom offered through the Gospel is her foundation because—though she may try as an Enneagram Type Three—she will never be able to do enough, be enough, or say enough to earn the gift of grace freely given to everyone by Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.
