Hi! I’m Heather.
I haven’t always known how to balance ambition and self-compassion.
My 5th grade teacher wrote in my yearbook: "If you don't learn to relax, you'll have an ulcer before you get your driver's license."
That perfectionism propelled me forward — earning a scholarship and becoming the first in my family to go to college. But once I got there, it became debilitating. I know what it’s like to feel driven by high standards and still feel stuck.
That’s when I met a therapist who changed my life.
This experience taught me just how transformative it can be to feel seen, heard, and understood—and that’s what I aim to offer my clients every day.
I also know what it’s like to not click with a therapist or their approach, which is why I stress the importance of finding the right fit. Even if that means we find you a referral to someone who might be a better fit, I’m committed to helping you find what works!
How We’ll Work Together
I specialize in modalities like:
EMDR: Helping you process and release trauma so it feels less present.
IFS (Internal Family Systems): Connecting with different “parts” of yourself, especially those that feel overwhelming or critical.
Somatic Healing: Reconnecting to your body to regulate emotions and release tension.
