At our group practice, HeartMind Resiliency, we are honored to witness people's return to their unique expression of wholeness. The essence of our work lies in meeting you with an attitude of heartful curiosity so that you may safely explore stressors and renegotiate traumas. We utilize integrative body-based modalities incorporating latest discoveries and research in mind-body psychology that do not require reliving intense emotions or detailing painful memories. We will work to discover new resources and truths so that you may experience a newfound sense of well-being and trust in the unfolding process of your life's journey.

Waller is a counselor and psychologist, credentialed in Somatic Experiencing, NARM, therapeutic touchwork and other modalities. With advanced studies in pre/perinatal psychology, mindfulness, attachment theory, neuropsychology, movement and art, she combines today's best practices and contemplative wisdom traditions to meet you where you are with compassion.

We work with adults, teens and children with anxiety, depression and trauma histories. We welcome children with learning/behavioral issues and their families for parenting and neurobiological interventions. We are also certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol technology system for autonomic nervous system regulation. We welcome professional collaboration.
