I have over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples (Gottman) and families that are experiencing a variety of complex issues including anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, bullying, self-esteem, and relationship issues.
Life can be full of obstacles and one wants to ensure that we do not stand in our own way of success. Are you tired of your own thoughts, moods, and behaviors stressing you out, making you depressed, increasing your anxiety, making you easily angered, and/or disturbing your sleep? If so, I would love to partner with you on your journey to overcoming these patterns that tend to be direct obstacles in feeling your best and reaching your absolute potential.

Let's help you find relief from the anxiety you are facing.
You're just not feeling like yourself. You've been feeling anxious, irritated and out of sorts. In some ways, your life is pretty much where you hoped it would be, but on the inside you're feeling scared and a little lost. Maybe even lonely. You're a leader, and you juggle a lot. You're the "I can do hard things" kind of person... But you're not feeling much better. You've got little patience for your partner, your kids, your friends, and you're losing your focus at work. You want better ways to cope with these feelings and life's stress. And more than that, you want to grow beyond the pain, and the past, and find inner strength.

I view clients as whole people in the context of their lives. You are more than a diagnosis. It's important to me to collaborate in setting goals, selecting an approach to therapy, and checking in along the way. I've worked with people from a broad range of backgrounds on anxiety, relationships, stress, depression, life transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues. I also specialize in couples counseling for smart, committed partners who want to improve communication, feel more loved, work as a team instead of against each other, or just get unstuck from an old issue or pattern.

People often tell you that you are so strong and brave and appear to “have it all together” but inside that feels so far from reality. Do you have feelings of overwhelm or shame around if you are doing “it” right?- whatever “it” may be. Perhaps you feel guilty for spending too much time with the baby, or not enough time with the baby, or wanting time away from the baby. All of these are valid and deserve space to be said aloud. Maybe you feel worried all the time that something might go wrong. You have an inner voice that knows you want something to be different. You have the strength to create a life that is authentically yours.

When you or your adolescent have an eating disorder it impacts almost every moment. Hopelessness, insecurity, frustration, anxiety, and grief become a part of every day. I work with people in various stages of eating disorder recovery- from the newbies to those wanting to maintain their progress. As one of only two clinicians in Asheville trained in best practices for adolescents, I am able to help clients and families using the latest research and make impacts that have lasting change. My adult clients are motivated. They've had enough of their life ruined by this condition and are done with suffering, they just need a path out.

Ferris Bueller said: “Life is pretty short. If you don’t stop to look around, you may miss it.” Of course, life’s brevity may evoke anxiety. Or maybe you’re repeating thoughts and behaviors that make it hard to enjoy life or connect with people. Depression. Anxiety. Shame. Insomnia. You deserve contentment now. I help folks (mostly men) regulate their emotions so they grow beyond life’s transitions, be it relationships, work or grief, which isn't just the loss of a loved one; grief can also be the loss of a life you expected.

My clients are struggling in some relational aspect, whether it's related to a child, a partner, a parent, or connection to self. They often feel they've tried to find resolution, but are still experiencing distress and despair. They may experience frequent and/or intense dysregulation and have a hard time finding their way back to regulation. They often struggle with handling conflict and communicating in clear and authentic ways. Common issues are anxiety, life transition, grief and loss, trauma, and/or difficulty in a primary relationship.

Humans are pretty cool. We can watch and rewatch our favorite movies, travel to faraway places, or dye our hair whatever color we choose. But we can also make rash decisions, relive that awkward moment from 7 years ago, or even hurt our friends and family emotionally. These things make us uniquely human, too. I work with a diverse group of adults and young adults experiencing a myriad of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, life adjustments, relationship problems, trauma history, suicidal ideation, identity development, and LGBTQIA. I provide therapeutic services virtually and in-person in Asheville.

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!
