Do you have a traumatic past that you'd like to break free from? Perhaps you are finding it hard to forget about the trauma, or continue to be triggered by a past situation, such as abuse, medical trauma, or a traumatic birth? Even 'little t' traumas, such as divorce or infidelity can have long lasting effects. Or perhaps you have limiting beliefs about yourself that keep you stuck, such as 'I'm not good enough' or 'I have to be perfect'? If so, an EMDR Intensive could be a great fit for you. Many of my clients with these issues have felt relief after just one 4 hour session!

In this life we sometimes experience depression, anxiety, and other emotional issues, or distress in our relationships. These experiences can lead us to feel alone, unfulfilled, dissatisfied, and or spiritually disconnected. Working with a seasoned psychotherapist can help you gain insights and healthy coping skills for resolving these issues.

I believe that clarity regarding who you are, what you believe, and why you believe it are among the greatest predictors a good and joyful life. I also know that a "joyful life" can sound absurd when you're struggling with depression and anxiety. My clients and I talk about their ideals and underlying beliefs as context for their struggles. Together we examine the presumptions and expectations that--when left unchecked--lead to so much heartache. We work together to create a narrative of what could and might be instead, along with a solid plan for how to bring new realities into being.

My passion is working with individuals who have suffered from the consequences of making high risk decisions. These decisions have resulted in legal, medical, and interpersonal dilemmas. I use a focused, solution-oriented approach designed to explore the context within which these decisions and associated patterns of behavior have become impractical and repetitive. We will explore alternative problem-solving approaches that incorporate mindfulness, paradox, metaphor, and contingency management. My background involves working with individuals/couples/families in crisis.

Healing from trauma often means carrying experiences that were never fully seen or supported. If you grew up needing to adapt, stay vigilant, or hold things together on your own, therapy can be a place where you finally don’t have to do that anymore. I offer a genuine counseling experience for adults working through childhood trauma who are seeking a therapeutic relationship that feels both safe and appropriately challenging. Together, we’ll move at a pace that respects your nervous system while building the trust and consistency needed for lasting change.

You're asking yourself "why can't I stop thinking about my ex?" or "who am I without my partner?" Or maybe you canNOT focus at work and get easily distracted and overwhelmed by most things. Perhaps you feel like you have lost control of your thoughts or emotions. You find yourself thinking about the breakup/how lonely you feel/how disorganized you are/that big decision you need to make...and you’re judging yourself for all of it. Sometimes you even judge your judgment, wondering how you’re ever going to break out of this cycle of acting out of your overwhelming emotions or spinning thoughts.

The human experience is complex & messy. Life can hold joy & wonder, while it simultaneously holds pain & suffering. Being a person in this world is not easy by any means. Especially right now, when so much feels scary, overwhelming, & unpredictable.
I offer a warm, understanding, & nonjudgmental space where you can be fully yourself- no matter what that looks like in the moment. I value authenticity, curiosity & humor. While I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the specific needs of my clients, my overall aim is to support clients in better understanding themselves & learning how to live a life that aligns with their values.

I work with adults who are at a moment where something isn’t working the way they want it to. Together, we slow things down, get curious, and look at the self talk and patterns that shape how you move through your life. Many of the people I work with are navigating transitions related to work, relationships, recovery, grief, or identity. I offer a thoughtful approach to therapy. This work tends to be a good fit for people who are looking for a more reflective, depth oriented approach rather than short term problem solving.

When you or your adolescent have an eating disorder it impacts almost every moment. Hopelessness, insecurity, frustration, anxiety, and grief become a part of every day. I work with people in various stages of eating disorder recovery- from the newbies to those wanting to maintain their progress. As one of only two clinicians in Asheville trained in best practices for adolescents, I am able to help clients and families using the latest research and make impacts that have lasting change. My adult clients are motivated. They've had enough of their life ruined by this condition and are done with suffering, they just need a path out.

Our current world is so stressful. Demands are continuously asked of us from work, school, family, and friends. It’s hard to keep up! Having a place to land with a nonjudgmental, caring ear can help. I specialize in supporting individuals with anxiety, trauma, burnout, self-doubt, and grief (including pregnancy loss). I also work with teens, couples, and families struggling with communication difficulties, parenting concerns, or relationship conflict. If you are hoping to reduce your daily overwhelm, unpack your trauma, process a loss, or improve your connections with your partner or family, this is the place for you.

Life is full of a good deal of various types of suffering, much of which strikes in unexpected and unwanted moments. Kurt Vonnegut wrote that "we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is," and I pledge to work with my clients to shift our relationship with our own suffering. I want to both reduce the heaviness of one's inner problematic experiences and to create more space and balance with how they are experienced.

Lets explore your life experience in a new and exciting way. I see suffering as an opportunity to break free from old patterns, habits, and ways of thinking that are not working for you anymore. It's a call from deep inside saying, "something needs to shift". This shift can come from exploring a relationship to a substance that you are using, and the pain, anxiety, depression, or a general sense of not loving your life that may come with it. Your unique journey is here right now, and experiencing it from a nonjudgmental perspective can be a vital ingredient to moving past whatever is holding you back from living your best life.

The therapeutic relationship is specific, and hopefully personally illuminating. In the therapy space we’ll gently sift past top layers of niceties, “shoulds”, and rigid binaries. With time and effort, deeper relational safety is created for your internality to be marveled at, cried alongside, and dreamed within. I aim to work as a prismatic mirror into the layers you have both within yourself and within your relationships to others. I work with couples and individuals around neurodivergence, building self-awareness, balancing self-compassion with accountability, & practicing emotional communication and self-regulation.
