Most people who find me are really good at managing — which is part of the problem. You've read the books, done the late-night deep dives, and you can name your attachment style, your triggers, your patterns. Knowing all of it hasn't made it stop. On the surface things keep working; underneath, something stays stuck. You've tried things that were supposed to help. Some did, for a while. I work with teens (16+) and adults who are tired of chasing the next solution and want to understand what's actually driving all of it. In person in Asheville, virtual across NC.
I specialize in anxiety, OCD, and trauma, working eclectically — EMDR, ERP, somatic and parts work, matched to your goals. But techniques comes second. First there has to be a relationship where you feel understood and challenged when it counts. I'll be real with you. I won't let you circle the same thing for months, or push where you're not ready.
I didn't come to this work because I had it figured out. I came because I very much didn't. I know what it's like to try everything that's supposed to help and still be stuck at 3am. You don't need to have it sorted before we start — that's part of what therapy is for. If any of this sounds like you, reach out. Nothing to prepare, no pressure.

Sessions look different depending on what you need. Some go deep. Others are about catching your breath and making sense of the week. Both are part of the work.
