Therapist

Virtual • Asheville, NC


I believe we are born innately good, creative and self-actualizing. It is my greatest gift to companion with others on the full spectrum of their human journey. Healing happens when we feel heard, seen, and "gotten" by another. Relational trauma and societal conditioning can cause us to doubt our inner sensings and disconnect from our deepest truth. I specialize in helping trauma survivors reclaim and trust what is most authentic in themselves. My clients are often sensitive, intelligent, creative and motivated to heal.

It takes courage to reach out for support. I offer a free 20 minute phone/zoom consultation to ensure that we would be a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you.
