My Services

Dually licensed LCAS/LCSW based in Asheville, NC providing individual therapy to adults 18 and older in person at my office in Montford or online via tele-therapy to folx living throughout NC. I have particular expertise in treating mental health and substance use disorders independently or in co-occurring form.

In working together, our relationship will serve as a foundation for you to embrace the life you want to live. I understand that relationships are an important vehicle for change, and I treat each person in a caring and respectful manner, mindful of individual differences and diversity. I welcome all clients regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity or nationality, political views, religious affiliation, ability, or socioeconomic status. I recognize each person needs a tailored treatment approach, therefore I incorporate a person- centered and individualized combination of evidenced based practices including: Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relapse Prevention, and trauma informed therapy modalities (Seeking Safety, etc.) 

I devote my practice to working with adults experiencing the following challenges or combinations of:

• Complex/Dual Diagnosis (Combination of Mental Health and Substance Use challenges)

• Substance Use/Abuse/Addiction, Chronic Relapse, Relapse Prevention

• Mood Disorders (ex. Bipolar Disorder, Depression)

• Anxiety and Panic

• Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders

• Low self-esteem/self worth

My therapy may be for you if you're:

• Thinking of making a change.

• Wanting to work towards more effective functioning and expand coping skills.

• Going through life transitions ex. addressing your gender identity and/or sexuality, role changes in family, changes in career, moving, etc.

• Looking for a safe and judgement free environment with a therapist who is also willing to challenge you and hold you accountable.

• Affected by and/or passionate about social justice issues and value a therapist who will be your ally, and that is a social worker/social justice advocate at my core.

• Not sure where to start, but you're here because things aren't ok.

If any of these feel like they may apply or you have questions about services I would love to hear from you.
