About Heather
Heather uses art as part of the therapy process, inviting creative expression when words fall short. She believes visual expression can reveal emotions that are hard to name. In sessions she listens carefully and gives people room to share at their own pace.
Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addiction. She also helps with relationship and family problems, parenting stress, self-esteem, body image, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and communication problems.
Heather blends client-centered work with practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people calm strong emotions and stay present. Together these methods support short-term goals and longer-term coping strategies.
People who come to Heather can expect a calm, accepting presence and a collaborative plan. She encourages small steps that build on strengths and reduce overwhelm. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.
