Creative approaches to embodied transformation
Hi, I'm Brittany, and I'm passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves in meaningful, body-centered ways.
I specialize in working with individuals and families navigating chronic trauma, neurodivergence, and complex emotional experiences. My background includes training in family-centered therapy, ADHD and neurodiversity-affirming care, and a deep understanding of how autism and trauma intersect.
I also integrate Somatic Experiencing® and other somatic psychotherapy methods to help clients gently explore what their bodies are holding — whether it’s pain, tension, emotion, or a sense of feeling “stuck.”
Whether you're an individual seeking relief from chronic symptoms or a family working through relational patterns, I bring curiosity, compassion, and clinical expertise to help you move toward healing — at your own pace, and in your own way.
What is Somatic Psychotherapy?
Somatic psychotherapy is a holistic, body-centered approach to mental health that recognizes the deep connection between the mind and body. It goes beyond traditional talk therapy by including awareness of physical sensations, posture, breath, and movement as essential parts of emotional healing.
At Creative Healing NC, we integrate Somatic Experiencing® (SE) — a trauma-resolution method developed by Dr. Peter Levine — into our work. SE is based on the understanding that trauma is held not just in the mind, but also in the nervous system. When we experience overwhelming events, our bodies often get stuck in survival responses like fight, flight, or freeze. Over time, this can lead to chronic anxiety, pain, fatigue, or a sense of disconnection.
Somatic Experiencing gently supports your body in completing those stuck stress responses, helping to restore balance in your nervous system. By tuning into sensations, tracking subtle shifts, and working at a pace your body can tolerate, SE allows for deep healing without the need to re-live traumatic memories.
This approach is especially effective for those dealing with chronic trauma, physical symptoms, or a sense of being “stuck” despite previous therapeutic work. It offers a path to greater regulation, resilience, and connection — both to yourself and to others.
FAQs
Do you take insurance?
I am currently in-network with the following insurance providers:
Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBS NC), and United Healthcare.
Because coverage can vary depending on your specific plan, please contact me via email to confirm your network status and benefits prior to beginning services.
If I am out-of-network with your insurance, I can provide a superbill that you may submit for potential reimbursement, depending on your plan’s out-of-network benefits.
For those paying privately, self-pay options are available. Please reach out for current session rates and payment details.
How do I know if its the right fit?
Finding the right therapist is an important part of the healing process. To help with that, I offer a free, one-time consultation call where we can talk about what you're looking for in therapy, discuss how I work, and explore whether we feel like a good fit.
This call is a chance for you to ask questions, get a sense of my approach, and see if the connection feels supportive. If it turns out I’m not the right match, I’ll do my best to point you toward other helpful resources or referrals.
What are your working hours?
I offer a mix of daytime and evening appointments to accommodate a variety of schedules.
I understand the unique demands faced by parents, caregivers, and those with dependents, and I aim to create an inclusive, supportive environment that honors those responsibilities. Flexibility in scheduling and rescheduling is available when needed — because life happens, and grace matters.
My goal is to make therapy accessible and sustainable for those navigating complex daily responsibilities, without added pressure or guilt.
