Asheville, NC 28801
Everything looks good on paper, but you’re still feeling stressed, anxious, and irritable. Maybe you struggle with perfectionism, procrastination, or imposter syndrome. Your relationships might suffer, or you don’t feel like your life is aligned with who you really are. At these times, we can lean too heavily on things (alcohol, “scrolling”, overworking) that temporarily help, but don’t get us where we’d like to be. I work with people who want to look more deeply inside to create lasting change in their lives and their relationship to themselves. I'm here to help you fulfill the potential you have for joy, connection, and success.

Do you feel different than the majority of the population? Are you a people pleaser and want to do the "right thing" yet struggle to make decisions? Do you feel a drive to be a perfectionist, avoid mistakes, internalize criticism and then continue being hard on yourself? Are you overstimulated by sensory input and/or feel exhausted more easily than others? You are not alone. When these traits are unknown or misunderstood, they can lead a person to feel anxiety, rumination, overthinking, sleep problems, low motivation, fatigue, negative thinking, depression and possibly believing "something is wrong with them."

We will work with both the conscious brain, and with the instinctive brain, which has a mind and a life of its own.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
