Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Asheville, NC

About My Clients

Life is challenging. It's not always clear where to go or what to do next. If you're struggling with mental health issues on top of it all, life can feel even more overwhelming and painful. Whether you're looking for direction, hoping to rise above depression, or craving to tame anxiety, you're in the right place. I specialize in helping clients just like you who are experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, or any other mental health concern.

My Background and Approach

I have three years of experience practicing as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Carolina University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. I operate with evidence-based practices in a flexible manner that honors your unique experience, gifts, and challenges. These practices include Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Humanistic, Person-Centered, Goal-Oriented, and Solution-Focused Therapies. Together, you and I will work to identify and understand the problems you're facing, and we'll find actionable solutions that are right for you. The aim of our sessions is to create a space where you can develop new coping strategies and problem-solving skills. Therapy is about you--so you can feel better and live your life to its fullest potential.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that all people should be treated with respect and dignity regardless of their personal beliefs or identities. I promise to welcome and affirm all expressions of identity in my practice by treating every client with respect and unconditional positive regard. I believe there is potential for happiness in all people. Though it may be difficult to see it now, everything you need in order to be happy already lives within you. I'm not here to "fix" you. Instead, I'll help you harness your innate potential.
