About
As a queer, neurodivergent person myself, I am passionate about creating a warm, affirming space where people can feel genuinely understood, heal from trauma, and embrace their authentic selves.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC/S) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with experience working in community mental health, residential treatment, and private practice. I work with older teens and adults navigating PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the impact of systemic stressors.
My clinical approach is grounded in person-centered care, enhanced by EMDR and somatic interventions for mind-body healing. I view clients as experts of their own lives and work collaboratively toward their goals. I specialize in trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and neurodiversity-affirming care, prioritizing safety, authenticity, and trust.
It takes strength to seek support, and I respect that deeply. You do not have to navigate life's challenges alone, and when ready, I welcome the opportunity to begin that work together.

I know how hard it can be to carry pain for years without support, so I strive to offer a space where you can finally feel understood, safe, and not alone in your healing.
I am a licensed professional counselor associate with a background in clinical mental health counseling and experience working with individuals, couples, and adolescents. I support clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. My clients often seek greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and healthier coping strategies, and I work collaboratively to help them build resilience and create meaningful, lasting change.
I use a compassionate, client-centered approach tailored to each individual, integrating evidence-based techniques to support growth and healing. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and crisis support, helping clients build insight, develop coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change in a safe, supportive space.
You don't have to navigate this alone. I'm here to meet you where you are, with understanding and support, as you move toward the life you want to create. When you're ready, I invite you to take the next step and begin your journey toward healing and growth.

As a counselor who has had his fair share of personal counseling, I understand what immense courage and vulnerability it is like to be a client opening up to a complete stranger.

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is meeting you where you are with a solution-focused approach. Every person has different factors that are in and outside of their control, and having a solution-focused approach can be really helpful for getting you to be where you want to be.
I tailor each approach to meet the individual's needs but often find the following helpful!
I know clients are making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they feel more hopeful and motivated and start taking practical steps toward creating the life they want for themselves.
Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by focusing on their goals and applying what we talk about in sessions to everyday life.
I encourage everyone who is thinking about going to therapy to reflect on what their goals for therapy are.
Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
Yes, individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, at Thriveworks can help you to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.
Individual therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of your individual therapy sessions will vary. The decision on the number and frequency of sessions is typically collaboratively determined by the client and therapist.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Talk therapy has many benefits. The conversations between you and a licensed counselor are different from those you’ll have with a trusted friend. The value of speaking with talk therapist is not greater than speaking with a friend – it’s just different. And that’s because the purpose is different. If you think you could benefit from a professional’s help, reach out to Thriveworks Greenville today to schedule an appointment and get started.
Talk therapy is helpful for many types of mental health issues, including the following:
Your therapist will help you explore thoughts and behaviors that are in conflict with each other. You’ll gain insight regarding negative or false beliefs that steal your happiness and prevent you from reaching your potential. You’ll spend time discussing your past and how it affects you today. Talk therapy may reveal patterns that keep you from engaging in meaningful relationships. You may even discover your authentic self. You might be able to do this with a friend; but if you’re like most people, it’s not likely. Your friends are probably not therapists, so let them be your friends and save the hard topics for talk therapy.
Greenville Talk Therapy exists to provide meaningful and productive care for people who want to actively engage in their mental health support. Greenville talk therapists partner with clients to set personal goals for therapy. You don’t have to try to figure things out on your own. Let a Thriveworks Talk Therapist help you understand the hurt you’ve experienced in the past, the issues that trouble you today, and make a plan for what concerns you about the future.
The days of sweeping your feelings under the rug are over. Start a relationship with a Thriveworks Talk Therapist in Greenville today. Talk therapy in Greenville is easy to start. Just give us a call and get connected with an experienced, qualified, and licensed mental health counselor. Talk therapy is covered by insurance, so it may be more affordable that you thought.
