Message to clients
Welcome! I’m so happy you stopped by. You may have noticed that even the gentlest reminders of traumatic events can trigger overwhelming feelings, such as panic, rage, and dissociation. You may be feeling an impact on your self-worth and ability to fully trust others. I can help with that! As a trauma therapist, I incorporate specialized therapies such as EMDR to help detach these emotions from the trauma memory, essentially taking its power away.

Heather is the kind of therapist that I wish all therapy newcomers could have, and that many therapy returnees wish they'd had from the start! She is the perfect blend of keen insight, practical solutions, deep compassion, and a sprinkle of calling you on your BS. During therapy, she is committed to helping her clients increase self-awareness, develop new coping skills, and heal from trauma. Bottom line - if you're looking for a therapist who is inclusive, genuine, and empowering, Heather checks all the boxes.
