I've been working in substance use and mental health treatment for 13 years, and I value the inherent worth of every person.
Clients can expect to encounter a warm and friendly therapist who is truly curious about their wants, needs, and goals. They can also expect someone who is non-judgemental, and makes them feel welcome and safe to be themselves.

Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHCS) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) in the state of North Carolina. I received a master's degree in counseling, along with a graduate certificate in substance abuse counseling, from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2010. While in graduate school, I decided to specialize in Motivational Interviewing (MI) when I discovered how well the “spirit of MI” (partnership, acceptance, compassion, and empowerment) fit with my perception of how we change and grow.

Lic Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, MS, MA, LCMHCA, LCASA
Asheville, NC 28801
My experiences have included working with trauma, addiction & substance use, group therapy, attachment issues, mood disorders, personality disorders, performance-related issues, motivational issues, and couples/families.
Hey there. I would initially like you to know I'm happy you're giving yourself a chance to be a better you. I don't believe any of us can accomplish this alone! I do believe everyone suffers in some capacity. We live in such a vulnerable world, and suffering comes with that vulnerability. Suffering can look like trauma. Suffering can look like addiction. Suffering can look like binge-eating. Suffering can sound like, "I don't know who I am anymore." My goal is to help people better understand their patterns of suffering with the intent of "breaking free" from those patterns.

Substance Use Therapists
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
