l work with adolescents and adults. I specialize in working with individuals presenting with a variety of mood disorders such as OCD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and acute crisis behaviors.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Psychology from Clemson University in 2013. Becoming a therapist has always been a personal passion and career path. Upon graduating from Clemson, I earned my Masters of Arts (MA) in Counseling Psychology with the Mental Health Counseling track from Boston College in 2015. Boston College’s training emphasized a social justice orientation that I uphold in my therapeutic approach with clients. While obtaining my Masters degree, I worked as a clinical practicum student at McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital. While at McLean Hospital, I specifically worked at the OCD Institute with direct training in Exposure Response Prevention (ERP).
As an LPC, I participate in peer clinical supervision with other clinical professionals to receive mentorship on my clinical endeavors.
I seek growth and to maintain ethical standards within my clinical training and treatment approaches. Therefore, my professional memberships are with the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), the American Counseling Association (ACA), and the South Carolina Association of Licensed Professional Counselors (SCALPC).
Thomas is a Clemson University graduate in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (EdS/MEd ’26). He is embarking upon his “second career” after his first as a staff member in higher education. Thomas is excited to serve as the newest counselor at Uplift Counseling Services, where has a particular interest in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) treatment – especially with men facing the disorder – while also serving adolescent-to-adult clients facing anxiety, depression, and trauma. His approach leans heavily on a person-centered approach while delving into the big, existential questions about life that clients wish to explore. Thomas hopes to create a comfortable, positive space where clients feel open to sharing and – true to the practice’s name – being uplifted to their best selves. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, woodworking, birdwatching, and playing with his goldendoodle. He obtained his LPC-A in May 2026, and receives additional support through the supervision of an LPC-S.
Client Review:
“I started working with Thomas in the midst of a very difficult pregnancy; my OCD was beginning to rear its ugly head in the worst of ways and I needed help fast. Thomas has shown me compassion and understanding from the very beginning, I have never felt judged in the safety of his office space. I am able to come as I am and work on exposure therapy at the pace that feels good to me. In therapy, I have learned to reframe the way I have always thought of OCD, this tiny detail has completely changed the course of my treatment. I leave each visit feeling empowered, heard and understood- I do not think you can put a price on that. I am a better mother, wife, nurse, and friend because of the tools and growth I have made within those four walls. I would recommend Thomas to anyone; he truly is one of the very best.”
