If you strip away all the buzzwords, therapy is ultimately a conversation between two people about your life—what’s shaped it, what’s been weighing you down, and what you want to understand or change. With warmth and insight, I'm here to help you make sense of your experiences, name the patterns holding you back, and collaborate on creating meaningful, sustainable goals that respect your pace and uniqueness. My style is collaborative, warm, inclusive and direct. Therapy with me is not about fixing you, but working together steadily as a team to help you build clarity, resilience, and self-trust in a safe and affirming space.

Feeling overwhelmed, difficulty making decisions? Sadness or anxiety ruling your life? Relationship struggles - with your partner or family? Traumatic memories keeping you stuck? Separation, divorce or even retirement challenging you to find the 'new normal?' Loss or grief causing a hole in your heart? Sometimes everything we know just isn't enough - perhaps psychotherapy can help. Learn new skills, insights and perceptions; navigate through the angst while strengthening your inner resilience.

Sometimes there are thoughts, memories and moods that are causing us distress. Often, when we try to express these to others, we are left feeling more confused about what we are feeling or misunderstood afterward. Sometimes words fail us and we cannot find the right way to express ourselves and then we find ourselves repeating the same cycles. I have found in my work that when words fail, art can help us bridge that language dead-end. I am a registered Art Therapist; I believe that art is innately human and can provide a safe space to initiate growth and change in individuals.

Far too often, life does not go as we hope or plan. It is at those times that we can truly benefit from supportive others showing us that we are not alone, and the powerful experience of someone validating, while also empowering us to overcome, our challenges. I believe that therapy is a space that can offer this support, and I value the chance to help individuals navigate life's transitions and obstacles. Through my training and work experiences, I have learned to empathize, and work effectively, with college students and individuals across the lifespan, from diverse backgrounds, and with a wide-range of concerns.

You get things done. You push through. You handle what others can’t. But lately the pressure, anxiety, and old patterns are catching up. You want more than “holding it together.” You want clarity, calm, and the freedom to stop performing and actually feel good again. You’re ready to understand what’s happening inside, break the cycles that drain you, and step into a steadier, more grounded version of yourself.

We can often feel distant from others, lonely and disconnected, even when we are surrounded by people. Sometimes the hard and vulnerable parts of life feel too overwhelming and difficult to share and lean into. My approach is to listen and be with you in the stuck and hard places. With couples, I focus on looking at creating new ways of experiencing and communicating with each other in the here and now. I have a Emotionally Focus Therapy lens and hold how our early attachment bonds affect how we relate and connect in our current relationships.

I'm Heather and I am most easily accessible via email, and would recommend that you send an email to reach me. I have over 10 years experience working with those struggling with addiction. This is almost always due to past trauma events that initially lead to substance use. Depression and anxiety are often co-occurring disorders that accompany substance use disorders and can lead to further life disruption. My clients want freedom from the mental heath and substance use disorders that are holding them back from their full potential and reaching their dreams.
