Let's explore your innermost psyche and unlock the transformative power of your unconscious mind! I believe that through the process of therapy we can work together to relieve you from the shackles of burdensome negative thoughts and discover true self, and self love. As a psychodynamic therapist, I am deeply committed to facilitating transformative change and healing in the lives of my clients. If you are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing, I am here to walk alongside you! I work with men, women, adults, adolescents, couples and everything in-between.
I am experienced in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other trauma-related symptoms. By incorporating EMDR techniques within a psychodynamic framework, I will help you find relief from oppressive thoughts and impulses and move towards a more balanced and empowered state of being.
I want you to know that I genuinely care about your well-being and the challenges you may be facing. I am here to listen, validate your experiences, and work collaboratively with you towards healing and personal growth. By reaching out, you are taking an important step towards your own well-being and investing in yourself..
Before coming to Asheville I lived in sunny Orlando Florida! I I lived and worked there for 8 years before graduating from the University of Central Florida with my master's degree in clinical Social Work in 2016. Since then I have had a vast array of different life and professional experiences ranging from working in psychiatric hospitals, to my 6 years of intensive community mental health work helping to provide holistic treatment and housing support for the chronically homeless and individuals with dual diagnoses. I love my dog Vash, playing board games and generally being a total nerd! My ideal evening is spending time with my friends at home playing board games like Dungeons and Dragons and using my imagination to create a fun, safe place for my friends to create, act and play. I love nature, long walks in the forest with my dog and comedy in all of its forms! After all, Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.
I specialize in working with individuals utilizing a psychodynamic framework, with an emphasis on addressing trauma-related and attachment issues. Therapy in our initial sessions will begin with building up a strong therapeutic alliance and seeing what skills we would like to use together to approach each issue. We will work collaboratively to set the pace in session and I will do my best to honor each individual's comfort zone while still encouraging growth. In addition to a psychodynamic approach, I also utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy), and Depth psychology to inform my clinical approach to helping you Mend!
