Great to meet you!

Welcome! I’m Heather, a holistic therapist with an eclectic approach, dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families on their journeys toward healing and self-discovery.

My practice integrates strengths-based psychology with somatic awareness, mindfulness, and intuitive healing, creating a space where all parts of you—mind, body, and spirit—are honored.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe that healing happens when we embrace our most authentic selves. My practice is built on a holistic, down-to-earth approach—one that honors the mind-body connection, values lived experience, and meets you exactly where you are.

With a background in behavioral science and therapy, I specialize in supporting parents and caregivers of children with complex diagnoses, families navigating behavioral challenges, and adults seeking deep, sustainable change. Whether you're a parent feeling overwhelmed, an individual exploring alternative lifestyles, or someone ready to break old patterns, I offer a judgment-free space to realign with your truth.

Together, we’ll blend evidence-based strategies with intuitive, heart-centered care—because transformation isn’t just about fixing problems; it’s about rediscovering who you were always meant to be.

Let's get you back to you.

What you can expect from our first session

I create a warm, friendly, candid, and engaging environment that feels less clinical and more "real talk." Clients can expect to arrive as they are and work to return to or dig deep to find their authentic selves.
