I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

You look like you have it together on the outside, but internally, things feel increasingly out of control. Drinking, marijuana, or gambling may have started as a way to cope, escape, or unwind, but now they're creating problems you can no longer ignore. You've probably tried to cut back, control it, or manage it on your own. Maybe it worked for a while, but the same patterns keep returning. I work with men who are tired of repeating the same cycle and are ready to make meaningful changes.

I specialize in addiction recovery, substance use disorders, and gambling-related concerns. As a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (NC), Licensed Addiction Counselor (SC), and Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), I provide a practical, structured approach focused on long-term change. Therapy goes beyond simply talking about the problem. We work to understand what's driving the behavior, build healthier coping strategies, increase accountability, and create a clear path forward.

Many of the men I work with are successful, responsible people who know something needs to change but aren't sure how to get there. If you're ready to stop repeating the same patterns and start building a different future, I offer secure online counseling across North Carolina. The first session is simply a conversation about what's happening and where you want things to go next.

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.

Whether it’s the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or the pressure to keep everything together, I help clients slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and start building a life that feels calmer, stronger, and more intentiona

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Asheville, NC


I have been in private practice for 20 years with my specialty focusing on individuals resolving historic traumas and women balancing all of the complications of womanhood in a fast paced, demanding world. My style is informed from my diverse experience. I have worked in adolescent residential treatment, FBI consulting, an expert witness and a graduate school professorship; all the while working with my private practice clients. In the last several years, I have been sought out as a corporate consultant and speaker to discuss how our negative experiences and traumas shape our behaviors as high intensity professionals.

The untapped magnificence I see in my clients never ceases to inspire and amaze me. Anyone who is willing to do hard work is already a gift to this World! I've grown bored of many things in my life but this work....never!
