WHAT IS MINDFULNESS-BASED COUNSELING?

Mindfulness-based counseling is a therapeutic approach focused on present moment, non-judgmental awareness. In session we will incorporate elements of breathwork, meditation, and body awareness to understand and access emotions as they arise. Research shows that mindfulness is one of the quickest ways to increase emotional awareness and emotional capacity.

DO YOU DO ZOOM COUNSELING? OR IN-PERSON?

I currently offer both in-person and HIPAA-compliant telehealth video counseling. I offer billable therapeutic services to NC residents and coaching services nationwide. My in-person office is located in Asheville, NC. We can discuss on our initial call what will work best for our time together.

IS THIS TALK THERAPY?

I appreciate employing multiple modalities of therapy. As a trained Expressive Arts Therapist, we will have the option to supplement our talk therapy with mindfulness, movement, writing, drawing, and other artistic modalities.

HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS?

Sessions are generally 55 minutes. However, depending on your needs I can schedule shorter or longer sessions. We can discuss this during our initial call.
