I earned my BSN from Duke University in 2014, my Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) degree from Gonzaga University in 2017, and my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Johns Hopkins University in 2020. I also completed a Plant-Based Nutrition certification through Cornell University. My background spans both community and mental health care, including experience at a large community health center in Washington, DC, where I worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life circumstances. My foundation in family medicine has given me extensive experience caring for people with co-occurring mental health and complex medical conditions. I also have significant experience supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and strive to provide compassionate, whole-person care that meets each patient's unique needs.
I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), which allows me to care for both mental and physical health in a more integrated way. I work with individuals across the lifespan and support a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychotic symptoms, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, and stress-related challenges.
My background in both psychiatry and primary care helps me understand how closely mental health is connected to physical health, lifestyle, and overall well-being. I strive to provide care that is thoughtful, personalized, and rooted in evidence-based practice.
We all need a safe place to be known and supported. For over 16 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals navigate trauma and abuse recovery, relationship wounds, and seasons of transition. I’m especially drawn to one-on-one counseling and the opportunity to offer a steady presence as clients make sense of their experiences, deepen self-understanding, and move toward greater healing and connection.
My background is in all aspects of mental health and substance abuse.
I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Asheville
Searching for postpartum therapists in Asheville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, pregnancy therapy, and therapy for moms. A therapist with a PMH-C credential has completed specialized training in perinatal mental health, which can be a helpful signal when you review profiles.
Asheville is a smaller city, so the number of local postpartum therapists with current availability may vary. Virtual care can expand your options, especially if your schedule is unpredictable, you are arranging infant care, or you are recovering physically after pregnancy or birth. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience supporting new parents before you book.
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 see your estimated cost before booking. Headway makes it easier to find postpartum therapists, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific location and plan, and see whether a therapist offers virtual or in-person appointments and is accepting new patients.
