I am a therapist who believes in the authenticity of each person's struggles as they encounter them in their journey through life. I seek to help others in the curing of their souls through psychotherapy. I make every effort to provide a therapeutic environment that is non-judgmental, supportive, safe, nurturing and empathic. Making the decision to come to counseling can be difficult and overwhelming. It's a privilege for me to be present with you in this process. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email or call.

Doing psychotherapy is a lot like playing jazz: The challenge for me as therapist is to stay in tune with the patient's own creative, self-healing process and to provide a safe container ("rhythm section"). The patient's life narratives are the "melodies" to be composed, developed, & improvised. My ideal patient is motivated to show up and do the work involved in creating/healing and to allow the therapeutic relationship to support the work. My private practice (The Androgyny Center) serves adult patients of all genders. I also do consultations with families and professionals regarding developmental issues re gender and sexual orientation.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. However, when I do, I help adults experiencing anxiety when life presents stressful challenges due to recent events, or problems that have gone on a long time. As a strengths-based therapist I use an interactive approach to help people gain insight and knowledge about themselves and what's going on. Together we explore a variety of problem solving skills and I encourage them to try ideas they think might help. I believe therapy provides a safe and confidential place to foster trust, personal growth, and self-confidence,

I am scheduling clients for August 2024 for in-person or virtual sessions.

Then you may find a therapeutic home with me. I also focus on issues that arise in ethical non-monogamy (I have 7 years of personal experience with ENM), boundary and communication work, and affect phobia (fear of feeling your emotions and you need help feeling them).

I also have a niche specialty in working with friends and family of alcoholics.

I work with individuals and families (age 14+) and welcome anyone looking for help regardless of personal identity, background, culture, or belief system. I try to provide a safe space for anyone to come and work towards being a happier and healthier version of themselves.

​I've always wanted to incorporate animals into therapeutic activities. My family has all rescues and I’ve volunteered with APS of Durham for over 10 years. Animal assisted therapy is generally done with the therapist's personal animal. My pre-Covid sessions were typically in home with you and your pet, developing more connection and emotional support. I moved my small practice to primarily tele-health but try to be available and flexible to meet when you need. It’s also important that the therapy is a fit for what you need and you can be yourself. I’m building a therapy space in Hendersonville Fall 2024 onsite sessions..

I have worked at all levels of care. I appreciate collaborating with other treatment providers to provide the best care possible. In the midst of a struggle, we can often lose sight of our strengths, and I work alongside clients to re-connect to their inherent resilience/resources. I meet clients where they are and strive to create a therapeutic environment that is affirming, accepting and inclusive

Do you have a habit that is holding you back? Are you struggling with a mood disorder, failure to achieve your goals or imposter syndrome? Has the pandemic or societal upheaval caused you anxiety? Do you practice your faith, but nothing changes? If these questions resonate with you or you're seeking more balance in your life, counseling may be appropriate for you. Counseling is not about being "broken" and having an expert fix you. Instead, it is a process that helps you identify your strengths and realize you are the expert on you. My work is to help you clarify issues and chart a path for change in a safe space.

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor specializing in the treatment of anxiety or worry, low self esteem and relationship difficulties. I also enjoy working with issues related to identity, acculturation and life adjustments. More generally, I provide psychotherapy to those who are dissatisfied with themselves, their relationships or their career and who aspire to lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Psychotherapy leads to better self-knowledge, to making healthier life choices and to greater self acceptance and confidence, while reducing uncomfortable symptoms that interfere in daily living.
