Hello! I am Heather and I am so glad you're here! This process can be overwhelming so before you read further, YES, I'm currently accepting new clients. Are you feeling overwhelmed and like you're trying your best, but constantly disappointing others? Feeling completely burnt out and exhausted, but finding it hard to fall or stay asleep? Or maybe you're feeling completely alone, like it's you against the world and nobody gets it? I'm here to tell you that you are NOT alone. Contact me for a free 20-minute consultation.

Do you find that traditional talk therapy falls flat, leaving you thinking..."okay, but NOW what?" I am an EMDR certified therapist, which is a great way at getting at the "root" of things and creating lasting change. Additionally, I offer strengths-based and mindfulness practices to address burnout and overwhelm.

I'm looking forward to connecting with you to see if we are a match. Therapy is most effective when you feel safe and can build a trusting relationship with your therapist. I'm here to support you and encourage self-reflection and growth. You're trying your best and this is not easy! Keep going!

I help clients who have prioritized others' needs over their own, often due to childhood experiences with demanding family members. They developed a "perfect" persona to avoid conflict, minimizing their own needs. We identify & process the core beliefs of these behaviors, enabling clients to challenge these patterns & prioritize their own well-being, leading to significant personal transformation.
