Somatic Psychotherapy, a body centered cpproach.
The body is the place where we live our lives daily – the place where we experience joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, bliss and trauma.
Together we will collaborate to identify your powerful internal resources, increase your awareness and find new ways to create a strong, loving relationship with the body to help navigate the experiences of life in the body.
Feel free to reach out for a free 20 minute consultation.
I look forward to talking with you.

Telehealth – Online Therapy Services
What is Telehealth?
People call it many thing – telehealth, teletherapy, virtual counseling etc... Here is the bottom line:
I see individuals in California, North Carolina, and Florida on a secure, confidential HIPAA compliant video conferencing Platform.
This technology allows us to meet from the comfort of your home or office – virtually. I am able to see clients who may live in busy urban centers as well as folks in rural areas who may have limited access to services. Accessibility is my intention for working online allowing me to work throughout the states of California, North Carolina and Florida.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I treat our time together online with the same professional presence and dedication as if we were meeting in a brick and mortar office space here in Asheville, N.C. which is where I reside.
How does this work?
You will need a computer, dependable wifi connection (if you can stream Netflix our time online will be fine), a camera, microphone, and a quiet, private space for our sessions. We will schedule our appointment and meet online weekly...It is that easy.
We will discuss the details in our initial consultation.

Religious abuse/Spirituality :
It can often feel as though we have to make a choice between our truth/authenticity and "religion" or " the Church" which can lead to a severing or separation from our spiritual self - Existential questions and longing for this connection to "higher self", "Universal Truth" or "God/Goddess" are often filled with behaviors that may not be supportive of accessing our core self - that which has always been and always remains. You can come back to this place and celebrate the truth of YOU.

About Brad
I am grateful that you have stopped by to see if we might be a good fit. I understand that it takes great courage to begin the journey of seeking support and I am honored that you are here.
I am amazed by these bodies that we
live in and I am fascinated with the
experiences that we have in these
bodies. We live our lives
in these bones from birth forward,often
without ever really getting to know this
place that we call home – the Body.
Life leaves bread crumbs in the experiences of the body. These bread crumbs (memories) live in the structures and fibers of our being and while some are beautiful, often others bring pain, fear, and shame and may also show up as anxiety, depression or even in relationship challenges. Frequently we abandon our felt sense (dissociation) as much as we can for survival - the mind has powerful mechanisms to make this happen. This "abandoning" is a safety mechanism that we can override in safety together.
My path over the last 25 years in working with bodies and the people who inhabit them, has gone from the massage table (Licensed Massage Therapist) to the yoga studio (RYT 200 Yoga Instructor) to the therapy room (Somatic Psychotherapist) - deeper and deeper into the body. Using breath, movement, journaling, story-telling and curious inquiry - you and i will collaborate to explore your own experience of self, your powerful internal resources and the stories that are connected to your felt sense experience.
I look forward to the opportunity to be a support to you on this journey. Let's chat.
Be Well,
Brad
