Mindfulness is a way of life for Heather and it helped her develop her identity as a therapist. Heather now identifies as a contextual behavioral therapist using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) interventions/skills and an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach to intervene with her guests.

Are you tired of facing your problems alone, yet feeling uncertain about discussing them with a stranger?

I have over twenty years of social work experience. I have worked in foster care and adoption, in a psychiatric hospital and am currently working in private practice. My patients include children, adolescents, adults and couples.

I use a variety of treatment modalities based on the individual needs of the patient. My therapeutic approach is a non-judgmental blending of eastern and western philosophies thereby helping patients develop acceptance and develop better coping strategies to deal with their challenges.

Some clients come to me determined to understand why they find themselves entering the very relationships or situations they set out to avoid. Others have concerns about marital discontent. Maybe it's a new medical diagnosis, or an old way of coping that no longer works. Perhaps it's struggle rooted in childhood or related to aging. While life can at times involve struggle, even suffering, my work gives me undeniable proof that human nature provides inordinate potential for creative problem-solving. I encourage clients to tap into this capacity and together we create strategies for moving forward, with an eye toward healing.

I am looking for clients who want to move forward and try new ways of overcoming their challenges vs reliving their past. I offer new and creative approaches to accomplish this while also incorporating established and science based methods. We never reach the present or our future by staying stuck in old patterns that do not serve us. Trauma and tragedy are part of life but we must be able to accept this and move forward to avoid missing out on wonderful things that await us. Let's get well so we can help others on their journey. The world is waiting for you!
