    My Approach & Philosophy


    You’re the one others lean on.

    The gifted adult who finds so many “real life things” challenging.

    Your internal world is active, constant.

    You’re tired of masking and performing, of trying to fit a multidimensional spirit into a 2D box.

    You may not need me to explain ADHD or Autism to you. You just need a space where those things are seen as the landscape, not the problem. I believe your ADHD, your Autism, or your high-octane brain isn’t just a list of traits to be managed. It is the lens through which you experience the mystery of being alive.


    I work with deep thinkers, feelers, and seekers—the therapists, the neurodivergent outliers, and the intense souls—who feel like they’re standing on the edge of something bigger but keep getting tripped up by the standard operating procedures of a society designed for a different kind of rhythm and the exhaustion of translating your internal world into a language everyone else understands.

    You aren’t “broken” or “separate”; you’re simply operating with a different set of senses.


    My Approach: Where the human meets the holy.

    I use a Transpersonal approach, which is a fancy way of saying I care about your whole existence. We don’t have to just talk about your executive functioning or your childhood; we can talk about:

    • Soul’s Language: Exploring the symbols, dreams, and synchronicities that your “logical” brain might dismiss.
    • The Nervous System as a Vessel: Learning how to honor your wiring as the unique instrument is it- not a deficit.
    • The Healer’s Burnout: Giving you a soft place to land where you aren’t “The Therapist”—you’re just a human being allowed to be messy.
    • Beyond the Self: Connecting to a sense of purpose that feels authentic to your spirit, not what society expects of you.


    I’m not a distant observer taking notes on your “pathology.” I’m a companion. I bring my real self to our sessions because I believe healing only happens in the presence of true connection.


    The person behind the practice

    For a long time, I tried to do life (and therapy) the “right” way— the structured way, the way that looks good on a treatment plan. But I realized that for people like us—the therapists, the neurodivergent wanderers, the gifted outliers—the “right” way often feels like a cage.

    When we work together, I’m bringing my whole self to the room. That means:

    • I value resonance over clinical distance. I’m not a blank wall; I’m a human being who will laugh with you, sit in the heavy silence with you, and marvel at the patterns you’re discovering.
    • I respect your expertise. You are the expert on you. If you’re a therapist (or geek out on psychology), you already know the theories. I’m here to help you move that knowledge from your head down into your heart and your bones.
    • I believe in the “unseen.” We’ll honor your sensory needs and your executive functioning, yes. But we’ll also make space for the spiritual curiosity and the existential “deep-diving” that often comes with being wired differently.

    My “Credentials” (The Human Version)

    I have the degrees and the license, and I take the ethics of our work deeply to heart. But my most important “credential” is my commitment to my own path. I am constantly learning how to navigate my own rhythms and honor my own soul’s language, so that I can show up as a clear, grounded mirror for you.

    It’s rare to find a space where you can be both highly capable and deeply vulnerable at the same time. You don’t have to perform here. You can just be.


    I love a good pen, tacos, and hiking all over the place!

    As a Psych NP in the Lake Norman area, I can’t say enough good things about this practice. I often send my Asheville clients their way. Time and again my clients share how comfortable they felt and how well-matched they were with their therapist.

    I was told I would get a meet and great call. I was sent a text with the therapist information/ number they’d be contacting me from. Definitely a little disappointed that I had to wait a month for this meet and greet phone call. When the date came… nothing- no call or text or email. Still haven’t received any response.

    Resilient Mind Counseling is an amazing group of people. They are so kind, caring, and really understand what it's like to be ND. They really believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. I cannot recommend them enough.

    How Do I Discover What My Insurance Will Cover?

    To find out what your insurance may cover, contact your insurance and ask if you have out-of-network mental health coverage.

    You may also want to mention the type of license that I have to ensure services with my type of credential are covered.

    Other things you may want to ask about are:

    • What your deductible is
    • What your co-insurance payment will be
    • How many visits you get per year
    • If you need authorization for your visits
    • Details on how to submit a superbill

    Contact me if you would like more guidance on how to figure out what your insurance will cover.

    Every client will receive a Good Faith Estimate. The Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill.

    The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and therefore does not require you to obtain the items or services provided by Resilient Mind Counseling PLLC. The foundation of a good therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is the client’s right to autonomy and self-determination. Therefore, you (as the client) have the right to terminate services at any time.

    If you are billed for more than the Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.

    You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask them to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available.

    You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill.

    There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on the Good Faith Estimate. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.

    To learn more about disputes and get a form to start the process, go to www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

    For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

    We can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

    To cancel a scheduled Counseling session, a minimum of 24 hours in advance of your session is required. If prior and timely notification is not given, you will be charged the full session fee for the missed session.
