About Me

I offer psychotherapy to adults and adolescents across NC and TX. For over 30 years, I have helped clients discover deeper purpose and meaning in their lives. My online sessions provide a supportive space to explore personal challenges and build resilience. This approach is ideal for those navigating transitions or seeking lasting understanding. We work together, fostering insights that lead to a more fulfilling life.

Approach

Conversations move between immediate concerns and the deeper patterns that shape them, guiding exploration of relationships, transitions, and the habits that keep you stuck. Sessions in Asheville or online are paced to fit adolescent and adult rhythms, mixing focused reflection, gentle challenge, and practical steps you can try between meetings. Through thoughtful listening and questions rooted in psychodynamic thinking, we track recurring themes, experiment with new ways of relating, and build steadier self-understanding over time. This approach tends to suit people facing change, grief, or tangled relationship patterns who want honest, steady support.
