Great to meet you!

I'm Heather and I've been a clinician for over 20 years.

An understanding of grief in its many forms underlies my practice and my six years of supervision with a Buddhist teacher still teaches me about grace.

I've lived in five different parts of the US - each with their own culture and important lessons to impart!

I’ve chosen to focus my work with adults who have known isolation and silencing and as a result, I witness our inherent ability to persevere and thrive.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Therapy can often be hard - especially when we have repetitive patterns or strengths that have served us that now hold us back.

We may not even know what change can look like.

My early clinical work with survivors of sexual abuse and assault continues to shape my practice with these guideposts.

  • Create safety
  • Establish relationship
  • Empower to access inherent strength
  • Partner during times of fear and crisis

Therapy is a chance to face the risk and reap the reward of vulnerability.

I'm ready. Are you?

What you can expect from our first session

Are you looking for a therapist to support active growth, change and accountability in your life? If you are, I will (with your consent) challenge you, affirm you, empower you and help you see that change is within reach.

Key to this is - being yourself just as you are and diving into this petrie dish of curiosity, observation, examination and experimentation we create together - this thing we call the therapeutic relationship. Come join me in creating!
