Find the equilibrium in joy & pain
Somatic therapy and support for trauma, stress, and Relational wounds in Asheville, NC.
Embodied practices to restore connection – to ourselves, to others, and to the innate knowing held within the body.
In these intense times, where we are constantly witnessing and holding immense collective grief, it is natural for our bodies to respond. It is a deeply human response to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected amidst such collective heartache.
High stress and overwhelm can amplify ingrained patterns of protection and coping mechanisms that often have roots in early relational experiences, but no longer serve us.
These are not signs of individual failing, but rather an accurate reflection of the times we inhabit.
Somatic therapy, grounded in collaboration and attuned to the body's wisdom, offers a powerful path toward restoring connection, building resilience, and navigating these challenging times with greater awareness and integration.

As a psychotherapist, somatic experiencing practitioner, truth seeker and loving momma of two: I believe that feeling truly well means connecting with our whole self (physical, mental, emotional) and meeting our need for healthy relationships. My approach brings together somatic therapy (paying attention to the body's wisdom) and attachment theory (understanding how our early bonds shape us). For the past ten years, I’ve been teaching yoga and meditation, and providing individual therapy, helping others to feel more whole and reconnect to the vibrancy of life.
Slowing down and finding ways to truly support the body in feeling safe and connected really matter. Through gentle, body-centered approaches that help regulate your nervous system, we can find a more supportive way to move through uncertain times.
As your nervous system finds greater regulation, you'll naturally deepen your connection to yourself and others, and you'll likely feel more empowered, ultimately creating the space for those old patterns to finally unwind.
Our bodies are incredible storytellers. By gently attending to your body's sensations and experiences, we can get to the deeper roots of those stuck patterns and create new experiences of safety and trust.
My Approach
I have advanced certifications and training in the healing of trauma as a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and work from a somatic approach influenced by attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and neuroscience.
I focus on supporting nervous system regulation, enhanced safety in connection, and cultivating internal balance through individual therapy sessions offering Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Safe and Sound Protocol (polyvagal-based sound healing), Somatic Touch, and Therapeutic yoga.
Somatic Therapy offers a way to explore implicit experiences that often contribute to feeling stuck, helping us more deeply connect and nurture ourselves - while releasing us from harmful narratives and patterns of protection we’ve learned along the way.
Reclaim your whole self - body, mind, heart, and spirit - and discover life-affirming paths of connection. I offer a grounded and compassionate approach, guiding you towards rediscovering your authentic self and gently reawakening your vitality.
If you’re ready to explore this path of embodied healing, I’m here to guide you.
