I believe change is possible, that there is hope, and that there are answers to be found within yourself. Now more than ever, individuals and those in relationship, are feeling the effects of living in a world that sometimes feels like it doesn’t quite fit them, they feel overwhelmed by the challenges of life, or feel unhappy in their current life situations. Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma/PTSD, motivation, communication issues, or a loss of a sense of self that affects your day-to-day life, relationships or ability to function?

Hearing from the heart and seeking help with paralyzing personal challenges can be a daunting experience. Finding someone to connect with in the process of personal healing is half the battle to a solution. Keeping the person at the center of the therapeutic process is a goal for me. I have employed this approach for over 16 years of practice in Western NC. While this majestic mountain setting is a place of unique beauty it is not free of personal challenges that may need a calm and skilled approach to navigating life' s challenges.

I am available both in person and remotely.
My goal is to meet my clients in the moment they are in, and invite them into a deeply safe experience of expanded possibility and curiosity. Connected more deeply to themselves, crucial feelings, fundamental beliefs and significant memories can emerge and be held with respect and kindness. Important individual and relational needs and healing can then be discovered, recognized, and realized.

People are complex and sometimes need help sorting through difficulties. Do you find yourself stuck in a pattern--a relationship malfunction or an unhealthy life-style--which you have tried to change, and cannot? The key to unlocking the process of change is to develop awareness of the underlying meanings behind these patterns, the "the how and why" of the patterns. When you compassionately understand how your implicit beliefs inform your actions and experience, you can help your system heal. All parts of your system need conscious connection with you, It is designed to heal. My role is to facilitate that natural process.

The World Feels Like a Mess—And So Do You. You wake up with a sense of dread, scrolling through the latest news, wondering how to keep going when everything feels so uncertain. The weight of the world is heavy, and on top of that, you’re juggling your own personal struggles—relationships, work, self-doubt, and the nagging feeling that something is missing. You’ve tried to stay positive, but the anxiety and exhaustion linger. You worry therapy will be just another serious, heavy thing to add to the list. More than anything, you want to feel lighter, more grounded, and like you’re actually living instead of just pushing through.
