I believe healing is possible. Through years of working as a professional counselor, I have seen the remarkable capacity of the mind, body, and nervous system to move toward greater balance when they are met with curiosity, compassion, and the right support.

The foundation of my work is Somatic Experiencing®, a gentle, body-oriented approach that helps restore regulation, resilience, and a renewed sense of safety within the nervous system. Rather than focusing solely on thoughts or memories, Somatic Experiencing honors the body's own wisdom, allowing healing to unfold at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of your unique experience.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating the effects of developmental trauma, shock trauma, chronic stress, and chronic pain. Together, we create a steady, collaborative space where your nervous system can gradually shift from patterns of protection and survival toward greater flexibility, connection, and ease.

While Somatic Experiencing is the foundation of my practice, my approach is also informed by years of experience as a mental health counselor and professional training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). These perspectives deepen my understanding of how the brain, body, and nervous system work together and thoughtfully inform the way I support each person.

My hope is that you experience our work together as one of curiosity, compassion, and respect. Healing isn't about forcing change. It unfolds as your nervous system discovers new experiences of safety, connection, and possibility.

I believe it is important to be transparent about the services I provide. While I hold professional mental health licensure in other states, I am not licensed as a mental health provider in the state of Tennessee.

At Southeast Somatics, I offer services as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). My work focuses on nervous system regulation, somatic integration, resilience, and supporting the effects of stress, trauma, and chronic pain through body-based, educational, and experiential approaches. These services are not psychotherapy or mental health treatment.

During our initial consultation, we'll explore what you're hoping to receive from our work together and determine whether my services are an appropriate fit for your goals. If psychotherapy, mental health counseling, medical care, or another level of support would better meet your needs, I will gladly help connect you with appropriate providers and community resources.

My commitment is to practice within the scope of my training and qualifications while helping you find the care that best supports your well-being.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel informed, respected, and supported in finding the approach that best serves your healing. Whether we work together or I help you connect you with another provider, I want you to receive the care that is right for you.
