Licensed Professional Counselor in Asheville, NCWorking with Boys, Teens, Men, Women, and Families.

I specialize in working with Boys, Teens, Men, Women, and Families. In my work, I help you find and overcome the problems in your life that are inhibiting you from the freedom you are desiring. Oftentimes, these problems are the result of trauma from childhood that is still unresolved. Difficulties that we experience early in life often stay with us into adulthood, creating a myriad of problems including anxiety, PTSD, addiction (sexual, drug/alcohol, work), depression, lack of self-confidence, relationship issues, negative coping habits, physical or auto-immune disorders, & more.

In my practice, I utilize a number of trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you resolve these early childhood traumas. I offer in-person counseling in my office and online counseling as well. My approach is comprehensive and treats the whole person – emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally.

You can heal, you can grow, and you can move forward. My life is a testament to that. I have found success, joy, and freedom through healing and it would be an honor to assist you in finding yours. Send me a message for a free 20-minute consultation.
