Let's Connect (828) 818-9110

None of us are immune to life's challenges and we also don't come with instructions on how to navigate these. We often carry our past experiences and stress without realizing it— to the point where we feel it not only emotionally, but also in our physical bodies. Research confirms the mind and body aren’t so separate after all, but more of an interdependent unit greatly influencing one another. Past traumas, anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, chronic illness, difficult life transition, caught in the cycles of shame + self criticism; these are all labels and struggles many of us identify with at some point, but they don't define us.

I take an experiential, integrative approach drawing from my extensive trainings & lived experience in mindfulness, somatic + nervous system based therapies, attachment theory and psychodynamic approaches. I also truly believe a direct & compassionate therapeutic relationship is foundational to our ability to gain helpful insight and make meaningful change.

I have a profound appreciation for the human condition and belief in our inherent resilience. My hope is to help make therapy feel approachable, natural, and even exciting. You are the expert on you. I work with my clients to co-create a transformed relationship to self, others and the world as a natural byproduct of our supportive work together.

I take an integrative mind-body approach, meaning I see each client as a unique individual and we will explore different avenues of both "top down" (cognitive based) and "bottom up" (somatic based) healing together, inviting our own physiology and neurobiology to support healing. I allow our sessions to be conversational, intuitive and flexible to what each client needs.
