I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 11 years of healthcare experience. Before specializing in psychiatry, I worked in the Burn ICU and outpatient procedural settings, where I learned the importance of caring for the whole person during some of life’s most difficult moments. I earned my nursing degree from UNC Chapel Hill and my Master of Science in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and especially enjoy helping people navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes—like school, relationships, career stress, or grief—that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Asheville
Finding the right OCD therapist in Asheville starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Obsessive-compulsive disorder involves persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that can interfere with daily life. Providers who specialize in OCD may use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), among other approaches a qualified healthcare professional can discuss based on your needs. Some providers also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) or Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) depending on your needs.
When choosing a provider, look for a licensed therapist or psychiatrist with specific training in OCD — not just someone who lists it among many specialties. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach, the OCD subtypes they work with, and whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions. A free phone consultation is another way to see if a provider feels like the right match before committing to a session.
Therapy in Asheville can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
