I am a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with 18 years of experience supporting individuals facing grief, loss and significant life transitions. I was drawn to grief work after the death of my mother from cancer when I was seventeen, and the desire to more deeply understand and make meaning out of my experiences. My professional career has included work as a nursing home social worker, a hospice social worker, and a hospice bereavement counselor.
Good to meet you.

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.
