I live, work and play in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville .  I love the outdoors and the fresh perspective that it always seems to bring me.  I have a family with three kids and spend as much time as I can experiencing life through them and soaking up their youth.  

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have practiced in clinical settings, schools, homes and the great outdoors.  I have experience in family, couple and individual therapy and have also worked directly with adolescents.  My approach is heavily influenced by Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Internal Family Systems Model.  For you, this means a collaborative experience where we explore your story together and uncover the strengths and capabilities that you already have to help you come into better relationship with your internal and external worlds.  I love this process and consider it a privilege to take part in your journey.  

In addition to my therapy practice, I also worked for over a decade in commercial construction management.  I experienced firsthand the unforgiving, competitive environment that tells us to inflate our strength and hide our weakness and the toll this takes on relationships and personal wellbeing.  I understand the skepticism and hesitation to seeking help and the need to be self-sustaining and independent.  I have also seen the freedom and transformation that can be experienced by letting go of this mentality and embracing support.
