Therapists in Asheville, NC
I have been an LCSW for over 25 years, and have enjoyed working with children, adolescents, families and individuals. I am mainly focusing on adult/young adult individual work currently, and I enjoy watching clients heal and transform their lives. I tend to work with clients who struggle with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Trauma, Life transitions, and relationship issues. My style as a therapist is more of a therapist/coach. That being said, I listen well, and only "coach" when the client is ready. I strive to look at the whole client and all of their parts, and meet them there, and then help them to get to where they want to be.

I specialize in relationship issues, breakups, and trauma processing. I work with adult individuals and couples. Folks who struggle with boundaries, expressing needs, avoidance, anxiety, or managing conflict find our work rewarding. I'm especially passionate about supporting BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and highly sensitive folks. I help clients process distress, foster meaningful connections, and build resiliency. I’m a humanistic, strengths-based therapist, which means I believe that you already have what you need within you to thrive. We'll work together to heal past wounds and uncover the authentic self that lies beneath.

These heal depression and anxiety, pain and grief, increase immunity, empower you and build confidence, increase a feeling of wholeness and connection to others and set you free from the past.
I am an integrative therapist focused on helping you embody more peace, love and joy. Trauma and pain disconnect you from your authenticity and power, creating a misalignment in your mind-body and spirit. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and the Inner Counselor are two highly effective approaches used for rapid healing. I see clients with panic disorder and depression, sexual abuse, codependency, self-esteem issues and those wanting more from life.. Bringing health back around areas that have become imbalanced (eating, sex, alcohol, relationships, etc.) is another important part of loving your life and yourself.

I am accustomed to working with clients struggling to find their way through issues such as depression, anxiety, attachment, loss, bereavement, substance abuse, negative body image, self-injury, behavioral struggles, relationship strain, and kids facing issues at/with school.
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.

I also enjoy speaking to groups on topics like communication, marriage, parenting, anger, anxiety, forgiveness, and grief.
I've been practicing therapy for over 30 years. Perhaps more importantly, I have a family of my own. I have been married for 30 years. I have 3 daughters, a dog and two cats. I think kids are wonderful and my favorite people in the world! I work with individuals of all ages, and couples including marital, engaged and long-term relationships. I especially like doing family therapy, addressing parenting issues and individual work with children; in-depth work with individual adults, focusing on healing and recovery from such debilitating experiences as abuse, chronic depression, anxiety, and identity/self-esteem issues.

I have experience working with adults & adolescents with concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, mood & personality disorders, confidence/self-esteem, trauma, grief/loss, & substance/alcohol abuse.
Compassion is a basic human need that often goes unfulfilled. When we don’t get it from others, it’s no wonder we are our own toughest critic. We refer to ourselves in harsh terms we would likely not use with friends and family. We feel stuck, alone, hopeless. Reaching out for help is hard, but continuing the emotional suffering is even harder. My clients have described me as approachable, compassionate, & non-judgmental. My goal is to help you explore & process unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior while learning new healthy ways to regulate your emotions, communicate with others, & to stand firm in your decision-making.

Therapy can be about reflection, growth, self-discovery, problem-solving, or any combination of these experiences. At its core, therapy is about honesty: being more honest with yourself and others, and learning how to live your life in a way that honors your true self. You are smart and capable, but perhaps you are experiencing a struggle that has left you feeling lost, confused or stuck. You may be seeking a safe place to talk about what you’re going through and find a way to heal. As a therapist, I believe that you are the expert on yourself, not me.

What is psychotherapy? It is deep listening, empathy, guidance. It is a place where you may bring your troubles and challenges, joys, and accomplishments. When it feels like you are falling apart, you may just need someone who can help you to see how things may be falling together. I can help you sort out feelings of anxiety, depression, loss and transition, as well as help to address issues associated with family and relationship conflicts. Whatever brings you to me, I will be honored to welcome you to a space of healing and growth.

I work primarily with couples experiencing relationship challenges (conflict, infidelity, relationship distance, parenting challenges) as well as with individuals who are facing personal challenges (stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and general difficulty with emotion management). It’s easy to feel stuck in cycles that bring negative, unwanted results in our lives. I work to facilitate a supportive and collaborative environment to help you heal from painful experiences, break those cycles and embody the change that you want.

I am certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) which utilizes rapid eye movements and guided imagery to help clients live with peace after spending years suffering from trauma symptoms, panic disorders, anxiety, and depression.
I love working with adults (age 18 and up) on anxiety, depression, attachment styles, and body image issues. My ideal clients are those who feel like they have been repeating habits and behaviors that are unhealthy and are wanting to learn how to change those patterns. I teach clients how to identify personal and interpersonal needs that are currently unmet and how to set more effective boundaries. I enjoy assisting clients who want to better understand their behaviors and learn how to develop self-awareness skills to help them feel more in control of their lives.

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.

I work with adults navigating trauma, depression, PMDD, stress, grief, anxiety, CPTSD, and PTSD using IFS (Internal Family Systems), attachment work, and a deep understanding of trauma and neglect.
Life is simply too much to navigate alone. We all need the support of trusted others to witness and process the changing tides of our lives with us. You may find yourself needing a lot of reassurance, not trusting yourself, having trouble making decisions, or feeling disconnected from your loved ones. You might feel confused by your emotional responses to things. Thoughts like "Am I overreacting?" or "Why can't I seem to control my emotions?" often leave you feeling lonely or defective. You have no trouble thinking and analyzing, but it doesn't seem to be making you feel any better.

The process of therapy is about removing your personal blocks to healing and helping you to remember all that is good, right, and well within you. The path to achieving this can be varied and uniquely personal. I use a variety of methods including traditional psychotherapy and EMDR to assist you in your process. I have helped clients process traumatic memories, cope with grief, and move from anxiety and depression to states of mindful calmness and well being.
