Therapists in Asheville, NC

I think that we all create our own reality by the unique way in which we perceive and then react to life situations. I’m eager to support clients in seeing “their role” in any life problems they face, and in finding effective ways to create a fulfilling life. I've supported clients having a wide range of problems - eating disorders, conflicted family and job relationships, and dysregulated emotions. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make positive behavioral changes in their lives. I guide my clients in choosing and implementing those actions which will bring them the meaningful results they seek.

Starting a new journey can feel daunting and overwhelming. However, choosing to seek partnership to achieve growth as a person is self-love. Whatever it is that you may be experiencing, anxiety, depression, past traumas, grief/loss or even communication barriers with family and friends, the collaborative effort through therapy can assist you with self-identified goals. During the therapy process we will work on establishing a secure therapeutic relationship, where you can use your voice to share your needs. Therapy doesn’t have to be a chore and while partnering with me, we will integrate individualized goals to aid in your success.

Out of network provider for all insurances You're tired. You have to carry BIG emotions all the damn time with no outlet to let them out. You cry when you’re alone, but put on a smile so the world can’t see you're hurting on the inside. There is no time to slow down because slowing down makes the inner critic grow louder about how awful you are. Perhaps you get some release through disordered eating, but ultimately, that voice comes right back again. The inner critic makes it hard for you to accept yourself and love your flaws. It makes it hard for you to live your life intentionally, with confidence in yourself to use your voice.

As a seasoned therapist and Certified Parent Coach, I bring over two decades of expertise in supporting teens and their families. Throughout my career, I've engaged in individual and group therapy with both adults and teens, led parent support groups, and developed parent education programs within a residential facility for adolescents. On a personal note, as a parent to teenagers myself, I understand the joys and challenges that come with parenting. I'm here to assure you that you're not alone. My mission is to provide you with tools and guidance to help you navigate the complexities of parenting with confidence and resilience.

I offer counseling for a variety of mental and emotional health issues, as well as general life, growth, and relationship topics. I believe counseling is a mutual relationship between counselor and client, in which we work together to reach your goals and desired outcomes - whether those are specific and measurable, or simply an increased level of comfort, authenticity, and satisfaction. I provide a safe environment where you can be open and honest and feel comfortable being yourself. I want you to experience true respect and positive regard when we are together. I work with adults, couples, children, and adolescents.

Each person comes to the office with unique needs and deserves respect to be heard and understood. Working collaboratively, I offer marriage counseling, along with many other services such as depression and anxiety treatment. As an Imago therapist, we recognize that conflict is growth waiting to happen. I often observe growth and healing in people and feel privileged to have accompanied many on their healing journey. By caring for them, I am personally stretched and shaped through their suffering and in turn only deepens my compassion for others. In part, this creates my tapestry that I hope reflects Grace in paying wisdom forward.

I focus primarily on work with adolescents experiencing anxiety and depression or struggling with self-esteem as well as their families who are experiencing life transitions, parenting difficulties, and relationship concerns.

Through life experience we all construct beliefs about who we are and what we are capable of; some beliefs are helpful and some are not. Unfortunately for many of us, negative, unhelpful beliefs become the default thinking style or lens through which we view and experience the world. By integrating elements of various therapeutic approaches we will work together to reduce the power that unhelpful beliefs (and the connected feelings or "felt sense") hold over your life direction and experience; the goal being for YOU to begin steering your life in the direction that you truly want to go.

I'm glad you're here. I deeply respect your courage to engage in this process, and I want to know you and your story. To help you get grounded in your body, perspective, and self. I strive to create a warm space of acceptance, meeting you with care, insight, empathy, humor and playful challenge. Through this, I hope to help you create an experience of self compassion that leads to deep changes in perspective that offer new possibilities for you. I believe therapy is a balance of support and challenge, and you grow at your own pace. I help my clients find meaning in their experiences and move forward to create new stories.

You feel no matter how hard you try, it is just not good enough. You feel like you a drowning in a pile of “to do” list that seems to never end. You crave balance in your day, but wonder how to have balance when pulled in so many different directions. You feel overwhelmed & overstimulated with racing thoughts, daily responsibilities, & the never ending to do list. You have an inner critic who tells you that you’re not good enough for your partner (or deserving of a partner), your kids (or future kids). You feel a sense of guilt & shame you’re not “measuring up” to those around you, much less the aspirations you have for yourself.

Our licensed therapists have extensive training and experience in issues affecting adults, couples, children, adolescents and their families. We specialize in treating a range of conditions including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, attachment, addiction, grief, women/men's issues, ADHD, oppositional/defiance, trauma, post traumatic stress disorder, OCD, and much more. We also offer extensive effective parenting training if your child is oppositional, defiant, and sometimes even aggressive.

Having worked in a variety of settings, including 15 years in wilderness therapy, I've found that there is something wonderfully inviting about working together in quiet outside spaces (or utilizing teletherapy in these times of Covid-19). Optimally I help clients utilize their individual strength, values and insight to help find a more peaceful state of mind and lifestyle. As human beings we are meant to build meaningful connections, and sadly there are an overwhelming number of deterrents to building those relationships with self, others, community, etc. We can and will tackle those difficulties together.
