Therapists in Asheville, NC

*Accepting New Clients* We all have times in our lives during which we struggle with life's challenges, some of us more than others. Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or difficulty regulating your mood? Do you find yourself engaging in unhealthy behaviors to manage your distress? Do you find yourself helping others at the expense of your own emotional well-being? Are you having relationship issues such as difficulty communicating your needs? Are you avoiding people, places, or situations that increase your anxiety? I believe it is a sign of strength and courage to seek professional support when we become overwhelmed.

My passion is in helping children, adolescents, young adults, and families who feel stuck, overwhelmed, and/or unsure of how to work through the challenges they are facing. Each age group requires a different way to connect and build trust. Everyone has pain and deserves a space to be seen, understood, and supported. I strive to provide my client with the necessary tools to help them grow into their own, unique individual. I specialize in helping clients of all ages work through anxiety, depression, attention and behavioral concerns, attachment issues, and mood dysregulation.

My ideal client would be someone struggling with life based on what they were taught or the environment in which they were raised. Sometimes what we feel worked for us in one environment or situation will not work in the same environment or a new one based on time or the growth of others. I believe we all owe it to ourselves to make self-reflection a consistent habit and aim to grow as much as we can. My clients often want to feel comfortable in their own skin, communicate well with others and live a life full of success and peace. I focus on personal acceptance, healthy relationships (Family/romantic) and peace for my clients.

I believe that understanding your own story and experiences can become a powerful tool toward healing and a healthy mindset! It is my goal to walk alongside you on your journey. An ideal client is willing to work toward personal growth and development. I work with clients ages ranging from 4 - 25 years old. My experience lies in adolescent and young adult counseling.
