Hi! If you're exhausted, frustrated, angry, disillusioned, or simply in need of guidance in a life transition or situation, you're in the right place. I offer a safe space to dive into the challenges on your plate. Anxiety and depression are my specialities, but please know that I work with clients on a wide array of topics. I often utilize traditional talk therapy, and I regularly pull in CBT techniques that I think might be helpful to you, but should you or I decide a different modality would be useful, we can discuss that as well. I want our sessions to be collaborative and for you to feel heard and supported.

My goal is to help you feel more alive, more like your true self, and more present for the life you lead. Therapy is a weekly practice where you voice your thoughts, emotions, wishes, hopes, hopes, dreams, fears, anger, frustration, irritation and so much more. Finding your voice in therapy means entering into conversation with me and allowing that process to unfold from moment to moment and week to week.

I have come to believe that by the time we meet you have probably been judged by a long list of people, organizations, culture, etc... I believe you may need to give up who you should be to be who you are and that can be amazing work! Client's I work with tend to begin a journey toward discovering their own core values and beliefs, and with these discoveries, begin to ask for things, in life, that line up with those values and beliefs. This leads to purpose, fulfillment, and an authentic life. Come and mend!

We are all diverse, complicated, human beings. We experience life and all that comes with it. Sometimes it’s fantastical and magical, sometimes it’s challenging and painful. I think sharing happier, or more positive moments in life is easier than expressing something difficult or simply asking for help when you’re struggling. That’s because it means being vulnerable and vulnerability is often scary and uncomfortable. However, when you're uncomfortable, change tends to happen and it’s usually positive. I won't stop the uncomfortable, but I'll certainly support you through it. Then hopefully vulnerability won’t be so scary anymore.

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.
