Therapy has been a part of my life since a young age. Growing up in a toxic family dynamic, I overcame many issues related to anger, depression, anxiety, and fear. Counseling helped me and eventually became a focal point of my life. As a result, I went to school to pursue a Bachelors Degree in Psychology and Masters Degree in Counseling at the University of South Carolina. This led me to the path that I am on now as a LPC-A. Self-exploration, to me, is one of the bravest things a person can d...

If you are reading this then I invite you to take a moment to appreciate what you have done. Despite the pain you are in, you have taken an important step toward change. Those whom I work with all have one thing in common—pain. Regardless of its form, nervousness, sadness, substance misuse, difficult thoughts, and/or traumatic memories, attempting to cope with this pain has led to more suffering. There now exists a gap between the life they are living and the one they desire. Life has become abo...

Life can be hard to handle, particularly after experiencing a traumatic event. It’s easier to brush it under the rug, avoid thinking or talking about it and try to go about life per usual. But unfortunately, this approach often leads to long-term consequences- whether it be in your relationships, career, or hobbies. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, isolation, relationship issues, or a combination of it all. You may have been avoiding your trauma for so long you don’t even reco...
I utilize an integrative, client-centered approach. My approach to therapy is informed by acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and solution-focused therapy. While I do have a background in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (tf-CBT) and cognitive processing therapy (CPT), I work to tailor the therapeutic approach to the needs of each client individually. I practice from a gender-affirming, sex-positive, intersectional, and client-empowering sta...

BASE Cognitive Behavioral is a specialist practice that focuses on evidence based treatment for a range of mental health needs. In my own approach, I have seen time and time again that each person is doing the very best they can to survive difficult life experiences. We each develop ways of coping with our world, but often get caught up in our own internal struggle to push away feelings of depression, anxiety, or self-doubt. My passion is helping people drop this “struggle” with themselves throu...
