As a Counselor in Asheville, NC, I have some thoughts...
I’ve been a counselor in Asheville and throughout NC for over fifteen years, and I love this work.
Here on my blog page, I share some of my thoughts on life, healing & the human condition. You can find my ideas and ruminations about counseling, therapy and the healing process here in my blog. I also share some of the podcast interviews I’ve done below, and a bit of my social media presence. You can also check out some of the articles I’ve contributed to here.
I realize that reaching out to a virtual stranger to get support in areas that might evoke shame, feel overwhleming, or are too vulnerable to typically share can be daunting. My hope is that, through reading some of my thoughts and ideas and hearing my voice you’ll get to know me a bit, and feel more comfortable to reach out.
If you have any questions, or would like to set up a phone consultation, you can do that here. Here are some links if you’d like to learn more about my services, who I work with, or my rates.
