I am passionate about helping my clients reconnect more deeply with themselves and find a place within - that they feel secure and centered - so they can navigate the challenges of their lives and the times that we live in. I have worked with many people, especially women of all ages, who have struggled with challenges ranging from feeling insecure, depressed, anxious, angry, and hopeless, to lack of self-worth, motivation, and spiritual connection. I also work with women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, terminal illness and those who are transitioning out of life.

Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and safe can be a challenge. I listen attentively and non-judgmentally to carefully understand the difficulty you are experiencing, and help cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and the origin of your depleting, recurring problems. Understanding how past experiences influence your current difficulties is an important aspect of psychotherapy. I strive to offer meaningful and practical suggestions for change, which can lead to freedom from feeling stuck, and a much deeper enjoyment of life and relationships.

You're asking yourself "why can't I stop thinking about my ex?" or "who the heck am I without my partner?" Or maybe you canNOT focus at work and get easily distracted and overwhelmed by most things. Perhaps you feel like you have lost control of your thoughts or emotions. You find yourself thinking about the breakup/how lonely you feel/how disorganized you are/that big decision you need to make...and you’re judging yourself for all of it. Sometimes you even judge your judgment, wondering how you’re ever going to break out of this cycle of acting out of your overwhelming emotions or spinning thoughts.

I’m at my best working with issues of trauma, depression and anxiety, unhelpful and addictive behaviors, family issues, parenting, and life transitions.
To move through suffering and risk hope of something better takes such courage. My work finds its foundation in a deep respect for that choice. I meet my clients’ courage by welcoming all parts of them- their overwhelm, strengths, grief, hopes, and fears. That welcoming manifests in my curiosity, care, and genuine empathy for your experience. My grounded presence, calm yet playful demeanor, clarity of thought, and feedback-informed approach have helped folks safely share their inner world. That safety can be deeply healing, and through it I've witnessed my clients move from simply surviving to living a life of vitality and meaning.

For trauma survivors: you do not have to talk about your trauma to find some relief.
My practice is not accepting new clients at this time. I commend you for being here. It takes courage and strength to ask for help. I believe as human beings we are resilient and often intuitively know what we need to do to heal. Unfortunately sometimes that healing can be thwarted by seemingly insurmountable barriers such as depression, anxiety, history of trauma, or substance abuse. Let's work together to create more effective coping skills so you may actually live, rather than just survive, your life. I find that the best results in treatment stem from focusing on people's strengths rather than their weaknesses.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist and have been providing therapy services to children and families in the Asheville area since 2005. My work with children is an integration of person-centered and strengths based perspectives. I use both non-directive and Cognitive Behavioral based play therapy as well as expressive arts to offer children a voice in their struggle to express themselves and identify and process their feelings in a safe space. I believe that "radical acceptance" and a strong trusting relationship are key in helping children and heal and grow.
