About Me

Welcome to the Body Electric therapy practice

I hold a passionate belief in the body's ability to heal itself. I also believe in the multitude of ways in which our emotional, psychological, and physical selves work together to reestablish internal equilibrium. As Gestalt Therapy pioneer Fritz Perls was eloquently quoted as saying: “We are not a summation of parts, but rather a coordination of the whole”.

I am 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, and complex grief disorders. I hold a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling (LCMHCA). I’m also a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP). And I have a therapeutic background working with adult survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault trauma. As well as a decade’s worth of experience working as a DONA-trained childbirth doula. The theoretical orientation of my clinical work is rooted in an emotion-focused, psycho-somatically based, and trauma-informed foundation. I look forward to working with you.

With Care, Olivia
