I bring over 20 years of experience in mental health, addiction counseling, public health, and higher education leadership into my work with clients. My approach is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience, which allows me to meet you not just as a professional—but as a whole person who understands complexity, transition, and healing on multiple levels.

My work centers on helping individuals reconnect with who they are at their core—beyond survival, expectations, or systems that may have shaped them. I integrate emotional wellness, identity exploration, and purpose-driven growth into our work together.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions around identity and purpose, I create a space where you can show up fully and begin the process of realignment and healing.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Asheville

Finding addiction therapists in Asheville starts with matching the therapist’s experience to the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for substance use, alcohol use, behavioral concerns, cravings, relapse prevention, and related concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-based care. Some people may also include a psychiatrist or other prescriber as part of their care team.

Asheville has a smaller local therapy market than larger North Carolina cities, so virtual appointments can expand the number of therapists available to you. You may prefer an in-person office near Asheville, or you may want virtual sessions that fit your schedule more easily. Recovery can change over time, so it helps to look for a therapist who describes a nonjudgmental style and experience with harm reduction, relapse prevention, or substance use counseling. Reading bios can also show how each therapist structures sessions, communicates, and supports people with addiction-related concerns.

Therapy in Asheville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse addiction therapists in Asheville, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
