Therapist

Virtual • Wilmington, NC


I approach sessions as an experienced professional and a real person. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as your full, uncensored self—say the hard things, the messy things, even the things you’re not sure how to put into words—and still feel accepted, heard, and supported. Many people reach out to me feeling overwhelmed by everyday stress, big world events, or the sense that things keep changing without much warning. It can feel like there’s no escape from stress, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Therapy can be a place to slow down, breathe, share humor, & talk things through with someone who’s really listening. My career spans 20+ years in mental health, addiction treatment, and disability services.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Asheville

Searching for therapists in Asheville starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to address. Asheville therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience align with your needs. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Asheville is a smaller city, so local in-person availability may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy in Asheville, NC can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

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 your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists in Asheville, NC who are accepting new patients and offer clear cost estimates after you enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your location. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
