Therapists in Asheville, NC
You ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed, angry, hurt, sad? Maybe you struggle with the relationships or circumstances in your life. You feel stuck, as if there is no way to say what you need to say or take steps in the direction you'd like. Maybe you find yourself hoping for stronger connections in the relationships in your life. Internally, you hope to feel heard, validated, and understood by the people around you. Maybe sometimes you feel like you’ve got a handle on this life thing, but other times it takes a lot just to get through the day.

For the last 10 years I have specialized in working with boys, teenagers, men, women, and families. If this is you, it is my goal to help you overcome the barriers and problems in your life that are keeping you from experiencing the freedom you are desiring. Most often, these problems are the result of unresolved trauma and wounding from childhood. Perhaps you're experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, sexual abuse, addiction (sexual, drug/alcohol, work), lack of self confidence, family issues, relationship difficulties, negative coping habits, physical or auto-immune disorders, or more. If so, I can help.

Do you struggle with motherhood more than other women you know? Do you constantly worry that you are a “bad mom?” Do you feel completely overwhelmed by parenting, like some moments are even painful to you? If so, you've come to the right place. Motherhood is one of the hardest and most overstimulating experiences a woman will ever know — especially when you're a mom with ADHD, autism, sensory processing challenges or other neurodivergent traits. When your unique nervous system is always feeling tapped out, it's no wonder you feel trapped in your life as a mom!

I understand human development and thriving is difficult in this lifetime. I am here to be of help. This struggle may be found in a past trauma that is sticks out in your heart and mind as a thorn piercing in. Or maybe it's the neurodivergent attributes of yourself you haven't quite understood. Maybe you've been diagnosed with ADHD at a young age and never learned anything about it or how to take care of it other than taking medication - or worse, thinking that you were inadequate. Maybe it's the navigation of unclear waters around your own psyche. May we create clear pathways together!

You're asking yourself "why can't I stop thinking about my ex?" or "who the heck am I without my partner?" Or maybe you canNOT focus at work and get easily distracted and overwhelmed by most things. Perhaps you feel like you have lost control of your thoughts or emotions. You find yourself thinking about the breakup/how lonely you feel/how disorganized you are/that big decision you need to make...and you’re judging yourself for all of it. Sometimes you even judge your judgment, wondering how you’re ever going to break out of this cycle of acting out of your overwhelming emotions or spinning thoughts.
