Therapists in Asheville, NC

We can feel trapped in certain patterns of thought, behavior, or substance use. These patterns can lead to depression, anxiety, relationships issues, and further cycles of addiction. To escape these patterns and cycles, it is necessary to have a space where we feel comfortable and safe expressing our truth and what is really going on in life. Honesty is the first step to healing and recovery. I aim to provide a space where you feel comfortable being your full self; allowing for reflection, unburdening and development towards a more integrated and positive life.

Individuals I work with are tired of being tired, tired of anxious thoughts keeping you up at night. You may feel stuck in the cycle of unhealthy behaviors, the effects of trauma, or having difficulty asking for what you want and need. It may be hard to even know what you want or need. But you want something different. I see my role as a guide for you. I focus on helping you reconnect to your wise, compassionate and loving self. Having this connection will give you the clarity, confidence and compassion and connection you've been looking for.

Are you struggling with being present? Does living a meaningful life sound like fantasy? Perhaps you’re struggling with your identity or not being seen for the person you are. Are you feeling a crippling weight of expectations for who you “should” be or what you “should” do? Do you find yourself constantly overwhelmed, difficulty focusing, or over thinking? Do days and months pass with nothing to show for them, nothing changing? As life happens around you, do you find yourself falling into unhelpful or even painful patterns to cope? Do you want things to change for the better, to feel hopeful again, but don’t know where to begin?

Want support for resolving conflicts – inner conflicts or conflicts with others – in ways that create harmony and help meet your underlying needs? Would you like more understanding for your feelings and needs? Would you like empowerment to contribute your gifts to the world? Drawing upon my 30 years in recovery, 17 years as a therapist, and a wealth of tools I have learned through my passion for inner peace and empowerment, I help people enhance relationships with other people, sometimes with a higher power, and, especially, with themselves.

Hello! I have over 25 years of experience & specialize in anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, self-regulation and recovery. I value in depth assessment which informs our process. Unlike some types of supportive counseling, I offer education about how life experiences are hardwired into our brains, & how this impacts all aspects of life and our relationships. I also focus on teaching skills to transform anxiety and stress into resilience, calm, and increased joy. To do that, I use mindfulness, somatic/body-based skills, brainspotting, neurofeedback, psychedelic & ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, RRT, and nature-based connection.

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma and suffer from symptoms such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and sleeplessness. I combine the practice of counseling with neurofeedback, biofeedback and QEEG to inform, validate, and inspire clients to reach their full potential.

When we've experienced unhealthy relationship dynamics or trauma, it can be hard to know how to trust ourselves and others. This can lead to low self-worth, codependency, repeating unwanted patterns, depression, or relational issues.

I work primarily with women who want to uncover their core beliefs and subconscious patterns in order to consciously create the life they desire. Unburden yourself by learning how to compassionately accept your story, process your emotions, and become the safe, loving place you yearn for.
