Engaging in therapy is an important commitment and can be difficult to fit in with the rest of life's responsibilities. Perhaps you've tried therapy before and found it unhelpful, or worry that constant engagement in therapy is required for lasting change. Trying to cope with the aftermath of trauma, or the way anxiety symptoms can disrupt a day, or having the same fight again and again with a partner can seem to take all of your energy and motivation. Life is often stressful and chaotic, and the times when we feel most stretched thin are the times we need the most support and change. I believe the best outcome of therapy is graduating from therapy - knowing you now have the tools to do what YOU want to do in life. I have spent most of the first 10 years of my career as a Psychologist in the VA, which has allowed me to obtain expert training in effective therapy protocols that produce quick, lasting results - so you can get on with life. Your goals are reachable - we just need to find our way there. Every person's path is different, and I look forward to walking with you on yours. I use effective, proven tools from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches to guide both individuals and couples toward their chosen destinations. Please reach out to me today for a free 15 minute consult.

I believe in using therapy as a means to help people find the tools within themselves to move toward positive mental health and overall wellness. I believe in support over solution; in walking with someone to face their unique issues however they need rather than “fixing” them. As a social worker, I consider the “whole person” and the systems impacting them to offer a positive therapeutic experience to every client and help them to feel seen, heard, and supported. I specialize in using EMDR with neurodivergent folx who may feel less-than, not good enough, inherently wrong, etc. I use a blend of talk therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help clients move through both "big T" and "little t" trauma. Whether you've been through a singular traumatic incident or you've had minor traumatic incidents that built into a negative belief, EMDR can be used to help you better understand yourself and heal. I come to each client with a nonjudgmental, person-centered approach and I will do whatever I can to to help someone move closer to being their best self. I believe that each person deserves love, respect, and support no matter what. I am a fierce advocate for others and a relentless support for those who need it, and I am here to be that for each client.

I work primarily with couples experiencing relationship challenges (conflict, infidelity, relationship distance, parenting challenges) as well as with individuals who are facing personal challenges (stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and general difficulty with emotion management).

I work with people who feel overwhelmed--by work, big transitions, relationships, family, life. My approach is gentle, non-judgmental, and deep. I enjoy helping clients become more fully aware of themselves and of the patterns that hold them back in life, and working with them to feel more grounded and connected with themselves and with others. Many of my clients are people who are in helping professions or caretaking roles. Many are women or non-binary individuals, and are longing to feel more at home in their own skin and more confident in their own strength, beauty, and wisdom. View 7 Photos I want to support you in being the wonderful human you are in a way that is sustainable and nourishing, and that brings you joy! My work is rooted in the Hakomi Method (a somatic therapy), Expressive arts, and ecotherapy. In therapy, we'll use these as tools to help you feel more embodied, and to empower you to feel greater clarity and freedom in life. The fact that you are here looking for support is both courageous and wise! Life can be challenging, but you don't have to go it alone. If it seems like I might be a good fit for you, I would love to chat with you for a 15-20 minute phone consultation. I provide in-person sessions in Asheville, NC and online sessions throughout North Carolina.

I love supporting people who are ready to look a little deeper into all parts of themselves. I specialize in trauma (PTSD) and relationship challenges- and of course how they might overlap. I work well with clients who are feeling hopeless or overwhelmed in the dating world, as well as those who are feeling stuck in an unhealthy relationship or marriage. I want to help you become empowered and make the best choices for yourself. Many of my clients have come to therapy without any awareness that they have experienced "trauma" or how that might play a role in their stuckness. I am both EMDR and somatically trained, which means I not only process things verbally, but also focus on how you store stress in your body. My clients report feeling a deepened sense of relief and understanding of themselves from this approach. My goal is to help clients connect to their inner wisdom and make sustainable and lasting changes. I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna insurance, as well as private pay.

By recognizing these patterns, we can begin cultivating lasting change in our interactions and relationships. Most of my clients want to improve their relationships, their sex life, or explore their identities or transitions.
