"Not the parts and poems of the body only, but also of the soul. I sing the body electric."
- Walt Whitman
Body As Teacher
The symbolism of a Mountain is powerful. It can represent the strength of climbing and ascending to new heights of awareness within ourselves. However, mountains can also represent the necessary work of descending into the healing depths of our lives as well. Oftentimes, this is the crucial terrain upon which the alchemy of trauma, loss, grief, and transformation resides. Overall, I trust in the potential of the human spirit and that, with the right support, we can rewrite our own stories.
Hi, I’m Olivia (she/ her). I’m a licensed clinical therapist based in the Appalachian mountains of Western North Carolina. I specialize in supporting clients as they navigate their personal experiences involving injury trauma, chronic pain, childbirth trauma, and psycho-somatic pain disorders. I have an MA in clinical mental health counseling (LCMHCA). I also hold a clinical trauma professional certification (CCTP). And I have a therapeutic background working with adult survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault trauma. As well as a decade worth of experience working as a DONA trained childbirth doula. The theoretical orientation of my clinical work is rooted in an emotion-focused, somatically-based, and trauma-informed foundation. I look forward to connecting with you.
