Welcome, I’m glad you are here! My name is Becky and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of South Carolina. Since graduating from the University of South Carolina’s Rehabilitation Counseling program in 2015, I have worked in different outpatient community and private settings. My experience includes working with people with severe and persistent mental illness, depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, life transition and adjustment concerns, and relationship challenges.
I feel that everyone can benefit from counseling due to the simple fact that life, while often beautiful, can also present many challenges. Change in and of itself is not always easy, and it can be difficult to process our emotions and determine next steps at times. Whatever has brought you here, it is important to me that you feel heard without judgement and supported as you determine the course of your life. By reaching out, you’ve taken a courageous first step toward harnessing your own power to find or return to a place of fulfillment and inner peace in your life.
My counseling style is nurturing, encouraging, and supportive, and my theoretical approach is integrative, meaning that I draw from many different theoretical perspectives and techniques based on your unique needs and goals; however there are a couple of modalities that I find especially helpful and widely applicable. First and foremost, I always take a person centered approach to counseling, and believe in meeting you where you are and helping you to identify and utilize your own strengths to promote self empowerment and growth. One of my favorite quotes is this one by Carl Jung: “Your vision becomes clear when you look inside your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.” I am a firm believer that you already possess the qualities and tools that you need to navigate difficult situations, and we will work together to unlock your full potential! I have also found cognitive and dialectical behavioral approaches to often be effective in identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve your life well. Regardless of modality, I will always work collaboratively with you to establish and amend goals as needed in order to ensure that your therapeutic needs are being met.
I look forward to meeting and beginning this journey with you!

Rebecca has always been so empathetic to whatever I’ve gone through. She is very adept at asking good questions to help you find the answers that were within all along.

Becky is very kind and patient and listens well. She is easy to talk with about various topics. She gives tools to help me cope with anxiety - and patiently re-explains them when I forget! She is an answer to prayer, and I feel like I can trust her with the things that are on my mind and with bringing up my Christian world-view. Would definitely recommend her!

Becky’s calmness and steady demeanor of support in therapy sessions has been life altering. . With her guidance I have learned to love my present self while also working towards a future goal of lasting fulfillment. My mindset at work and at home has shifted from hopelessness to acceptance and patience. I can’t thank her enough.
