Therapy that is rooted in connection

Come as you are, Grow as you need.

  • Individual Therapy

    I work with adults who may self-identify as people-pleasers, perfectionists, and workaholics. I'm here to help you slow down and reconnect with your self. My passion is supporting people who have experienced trauma in previous relationships and are wanting to develop healthy, secure attachments. I offer in-person sessions in Charlotte, NC and virtual sessions for NC and SC residents. To learn more about the types of therapy I use, head over to the "About” and “EMDR” pages. I provide trauma-informed, inclusive therapy for all.

    My approach is relational and holistic. I focus on building rapport with clients before diving into deeper therapeutic work and I truly believe the secure connection within the therapist-client relationship is transformational.

  • Walk and Talk Therapy

    This is a form of therapy that combines the benefits of outdoor movement with therapy. The focus is not on exercise! This alternative to an in-office session is great for those who spend their days sitting down at work or find an office setting a little intimidating! The Wildflower office is located in the Charlotte neighborhood of Dilworth which is surrounded by shaded sidewalks and walkable to Freedom Park. Reach out to learn more about how we can incorporate movement into your sessions!

  • Trauma Therapy

    Trauma therapy is rooted in the belief that our experiences do not have to define who we are. We inherently deserve to be and feel safe. Safe in our relationships. Safe in our bodies. Safe in our minds. We will work together to transform the shame and guilt into compassion through the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I’ve found the combination of EMDR and traditional talk therapy to be beneficial for clients.

  • Relationship Therapy

    I offer therapy services to relationships of all varieties, with a special focus on pre-marital/pre-commitment relationships. I use aspects of Emotionally Focused Therapy and The Gottman Method to support couples in connecting with each other on a deeper level. My perspective is inclusive, poly-affirming, and kink-friendly.

    I do not accept insurance for couple’s therapy—for more information, head over to the FAQ page.

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Octavia (she/her), a trauma therapist, amateur home cook, avid book reader, and lover of all things outdoorsy. When I’m not seeing clients, I’m usually browsing the local plant nursery, relaxing on my paddle board, or hanging with my cat, Pinky!

I specialize in working with single event and chronic traumatic experiences, anxiety, life transitions, burnout, people pleasing, & more!

Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking for a fresh perspective, I'm here to walk alongside you supporting you every step of the way. You deserve a space where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable, seen without judgement, and validated in your experiences.
