I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, based in South Carolina. I received my Masters in Nursing from Duquesne University (Forensic Nursing), Post-Masters in Nursing from University of Virginia (PMHNP). I served in both U.S. Navy and U.S. Public Health Service, retired in 2019. I have been practicing for 12 yrs. I have experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings.
Hello and nice to "meet" you! I have been a licensed counselor since 2004 (SC #4579 and NC #22747). I earned a Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Psychology and Counseling from UNC Chapel Hill in 1999. Early in my career, I focused my work with children, adolescents, and families, as well as adults. Since then, I have narrowed my focus to victims of trauma, First Responders, and those Depressive Disorders and Anxiety Disorders.
You replay conversations long after they're over. You shut down or say too much, then spend the day wishing you hadn't. You're not bad at relationships. You're anxious in them. You hold back. You give in to keep the peace, then quietly resent it. You want to be closer to the people you love. but something always gets in the way. It doesn't have to stay this way.

Better tomorrows are ahead with a guide willing to help along the way. Brett has been helping clients reach better tomorrows for more than a decade. His primary areas of focus have been couples issues, substance use, anger management, trauma, anxiety, depression, and general every day stress. No problem is too big that we cannot come to solutions, together.
My priority is helping you reach your goals. To that end, I often use a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Narrative therapies, primarily, to help you reach those goals.
As a whole, my approach is positive and looks to help you build in a healthy way. My job is to listen and help you get to a healthier place in your life. Let me be your guide and see how life can be.
I’ve been a therapist for the better part of a decade and have worked in trauma support services for nearly 20 years. My counseling experience includes working with individuals, couples, and families in both inpatient and outpatient facilities, acute mental health stabilization units and substance abuse rehab facilities. I have both personal and professional experience working with veterans and am passionate about helping folks transition back into the civilian world. And we’ll laugh a lot. :)
Everyone has a story and sometimes parts of that story can feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming. I became a therapist because I believe every person’s story deserves to be heard, understood, and worked through with others. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, past trauma, or major life transitions, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I work with both adolescents and adults to create a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in South Carolina
Searching for therapists in South Carolina starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists and areas of focus can vary. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.
Location and format also shape your search. You may prefer an office near Charleston, Columbia, or Greenville, or you may want virtual sessions that fit your schedule from elsewhere in South Carolina. It can also help to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can show how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus, so you can make a more informed choice.
Therapy in South Carolina can be a significant expense 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 you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans and helps you find South Carolina therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, review bios, check your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
