Whether you have a particular life challenge you’re trying to overcome, or just daily stress and issues getting in the way of finding joy, we can work through it together. Sometimes, seeking help is the best way to put things into perspective.

About Me

I've always wanted to incorporate animals into therapeutic activities, having adopted many rescues and volunteered with APS of Durham for over 10 years.

My pre-Covid sessions were typically in home with you and your pet, developing more connection and emotional support. I moved my small practice to primarily tele-health but try to be available and flexible to meet when you need. It’s also important that the therapy is a fit for you and you can be yourself.

My hope is to offer a safe space with time for you, authentic communication, maybe a bit of humor, and to support you through the challenges to find your rhythm in life—

Be proud of this step to care for yourself !!

Services

Individual Therapy

Our individual sessions are driven by your goals and needs. I try to create an environment of trust, open communication and some humor to help you feel comfortable. I use a variety of techniques but more importantly I will listen and help guide you through whatever decisions and stuggles you need support.

Animal-Assisted
Therapy

Animal Assisted Therapy is a type of therapy that involves animals into the treatment. The goal is to improve client’s social, emotional, or cognitive functioning. Animals can bring us such joy and peace, but can also teach us about ourselves and assist us in learning tools to cope with stress. Animals regularly participate in therapeutic activities to improve confidence and for relaxation. For our sessions clients can have their animal with them for support in their own home--

**Your personal animal will be allowed onsite at new Hendersonville site.
