About

My Approach

My approach to therapy is rooted in evidence-based practices including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Currently, I’m a fellow at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis, where I continue to learn through ongoing supervision, consultation, and mentorship. This eclectic blend allows me to tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and goals.

About me

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor associate (LCMHCA #A18592) in North Carolina. I completed my undergraduate degree at UNC Chapel Hill and earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Carolina University. I have worked in a wide array of roles in community mental health, university counseling centers, food banks, nonprofits, schools, and a healthy dose of housekeeping, caregiving, and restaurant work.

As an LGBTQIA-affirming and liberation-oriented therapist, I’m committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive space for all clients. I am engaged in ongoing education and abolitionist practices in my personal and professional life and welcome conversations around this. Friends and colleagues might describe me as warm, curious, and informal—qualities I bring into every session to help you feel comfortable and heard.

F.A.Q.s

Are you currently accepting new clients?
I am accepting new clients at this time.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, I accept insurance for individual therapy.
Which insurance plans do you accept?
I am currently paneled with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and Medcost. I am able to accept most, but not all, plans through these companies. It’s best to confirm your benefits to get a sense of coverage and cost. My fee for private pay is $130 per session. I offer a limited number of reduced-fee spots.
Do you offer virtual sessions, in-person sessions, or both?
I meet with clients both virtually and in person.
Where is your office located?
I have an office in downtown Asheville, NC, and I offer virtual sessions via a secure telehealth platform.
Do you provide crisis or on-call services?
I do not provide 24/7 on-call, crisis services.
How quickly do you respond to messages?
I am prompt in response to all emails, phone calls, and messages from the folks I work with, but if you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please call RHA’s mobile crisis service at 1-888-573-1006, 911, or proceed to the nearest emergency room.
