Hi there, I'm Heather!

You're not alone—and you don’t have to carry everything by yourself. I’m a trauma-informed therapist who helps children, teens, and adults find calm, clarity, and connection. Together, we’ll create space for healing, growth, and feeling more like you again.

My focus

I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, or neurodivergence. I meet clients where they are, helping them build insight, resilience, and a sense of peace within themselves and their relationships.

My approach

My approach is warm, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I blend evidence-based therapy with a spiritually sensitive perspective, helping clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change at their own pace.
