Life Informed Therapy

Whether you are new to therapy or have years of experience, I welcome you to my practice.  I am a licensed clinical therapist in the states of Massachusetts, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Ohio.  I have office locations in Asheville, NC and Newport, KY.

I take a secular and realistic approach to therapy, utilizing DBT, CBT, and humor.  I am also a member of AASECT (The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists) and the Secular Therapy Project.  I work with ages 18 and up and only see minors in special circumstances. 

My specialties include:

• Moving through trauma/abuse, including vicarious trauma, unresolved childhood trauma, family conflict, and setting boundaries.
