A Supportive Space for Meaningful Change
Healing trauma and Relational wounds through embodied practices in Asheville, NC.
Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed and disconnected from both, yourself and others?
Do you often feel worried, inadequate, and ache to feel a deeper sense of belonging?
I empower individuals like you to reclaim your inner voice and assert your boundaries and authenticity. Through somatic psychotherapy, a holistic approach that creates a stronger mind-body connection, I help you embrace your entire being - mind, body, and soul - opening up new possibilities.

As a psychotherapist, somatic experiencing practitioner, truth seeker and loving momma of two, I’m deeply motivated to help people create a satisfying and meaningful life. I see our work together as a partnership where I’ll be by your side to support and guide you, but ultimately, we’ll build trust to rely on your insights and experiences. For almost a decade now, I have been offering my expertise in teaching yoga, meditation, providing somatic experiencing, and individual therapy in private practice. My fervor lies in the integration of the body within our sessions, as it’s our foundation. The body holds an abundance of wisdom and when we develop the ability to attentively listen and understand its messages, it has the power to transform our lives.
You’re probably here because you’re having a tough time being your authentic self in various areas of your life. And it’s probably especially hard to be open and vulnerable in the relationships that matter the most to you.
You’re not alone. Many of us experience similar feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and fear in relationship to oneself and others. It’s a common struggle that often starts when we’re very young.
These wounds can disrupt our sense of safety and connection, making it really tough to open up to others about our deepest, messiest parts. But here’s the thing: we are wired for connection. And when we find a safe and supportive space, profound healing can occur.
You don’t have to do this alone. I’m glad you’re here.
With the right conditions, the body has an innate capacity to heal. When you work directly with the nervous system, you can heal unresolved wounds, strengthen self-regulation, and access new ways of connecting with yourself and others.
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. People are drawn to me who are open to working somatically with their bodies in a safe environment to resolve stress and heal. Embodied modalities provided include Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Safe and Sound Protocol (polyvagal-based sound healing), Neuroaffective Touch, and Therapeutic yoga,
Many people who've struggled with anxiety and depression in the past are feeling even more overwhelmed these days. And the thing is, we might not even realize that we've got some unresolved trauma from early in life that's still affecting us now. Early trauma, including emotional neglect, is often below our radar, not something we consciously think about. But it contributes to how we feel about ourselves and how we see the world. Somatic therapy offers a way to explore these often implicit experiences, getting back in touch with who we are, without the harmful narratives we’ve learned from our culture and our family of origin.
This Work is Deeply Healing
Sessions are supported with curiosity, patience, and love. The work offers a way to connect, support, and nurture ourselves on a deep, body-based level. Sessions will help you start to build a stronger connection to your physical sensations, which will help you feel more trust and comfort. This, in turn, will open up new emotional and cognitive possibilities, allowing you to experience life in a more rich and fulfilling way.
I’ll guide you back to your powerful inner voice. A voice that understands your inherent worth and experiences authentic self-expression without fear or shame.
Once we build self-trust, we are better equipped at dealing with daily stress, speaking openly to get our needs met, and are more courageous and open.
You don’t have to continue feeling small, stuck, and alone.
Our work together will help you build a stronger mind-body connection, leading to more trust and comfort. This, in turn, will open up new emotional and cognitive possibilities, allowing you to experience life in a more rich and fulfilling way.
