As human beings, there are certain experiences that we all must contend with. There is simply no escaping the fact that we will all experience relationships with other humans, some of which may feel nurturing and supportive, and others that may not. We will all have emotions, thoughts, feelings and body sensations that will lend themselves to both pleasurable and painful encounters. We will all have dreams and desires about the elements that we’d like our lives to consist of and people or situations that we have an aversion toward, or things that we fear. This is the human condition. 

As an Asheville therapist for over ten years, I provide counseling for individuals as they navigate their way through this complex experience of being human. By taking advantage of our personal and professional relationship that develops in therapy, I feel that you will be better able to make the changes that you want to make in your life.  

Trauma is a part of every life. When traumatic experiences happen, they have the power to alter our self-concept or our understanding of how the world works. These new core beliefs can stay with us for a lifetime unless we take the time and energy to process our those experiences and their impacts. Together, we can look closely at the circumstances in your life that shaped you and do the healing work to repair and integrate the traumas, leading you back to wholeness.
