*waitlist only* I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

I work with adults, couples, and families facing various challenges. My approach is strengths-based, focused on what's right with you and will support you to reinforce the bridge between logic--"what I should do" and heart--"what I want to do".

Being a parent is TOUGH. I will listen to your concerns/hopes while providing a nonjudgmental environment to explore the issues your child and family may be facing. I am passionate about childhood mental health, and only work with children and teens (ages 2-16). Some children I see experience issues with adjustment, anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, self-esteem, trauma, and interpersonal conflict. Some children ask to come to therapy; some don't. I focus on building trust and rapport with every client I work with.

Are you struggling to evict the ex who's living rent-free in your brain? Or is there so much conflict and miscommunication in your marriage that you wonder how you'll ever stay together?

Sleepless nights and emotional turmoil have you on edge, wondering how you'll ever make it through if "just one more thing" happens. As a therapist with 25 years of experience, I understand the toll that relationship distress and conflict can take on your mental and physical health.

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 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 early 2025 for in person sessions.

As a trained couples' and family therapist, I use a systemic approach with my clients which emphasizes the development and maintenance of healthy relationships and communication. Evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral/solution focused therapies are examples of the theoretical orientations from which I work. I believe wholeheartedly that change comes from a blend of internal and external factors with a team approach between the therapist and client(s). My philosophy is not to "fix" people, but rather serve as a partner to support my clients toward defining and reaching their expressed personal values and goals.

I work from a Person Centered Modality with the goal of walking alongside my clients. Anxiety, depression, transitions, or trauma can be overwhelming and all consuming. Working one’s way through high school, college, a new job, or relationship can be scary. My sole desire is to help provide my clients the tools to overcome adversity, help clients grow into the healthiest individuals they can, and help them build trust within. Rather than run away from our fears and anxieties, lets run towards growth and a healthier version of one's self.
