She finds joy and meaning in supporting adults cultivate an embodied sense of self. She has experience supporting folks in the areas of trauma recovery, relationship concerns, life transitions, depression, anxiety, existential inquiry, psychedelic integration, and developing updated coping strategies.

Out of the therapy room, you can find Heather chasing live music of all kinds and searching for new nature spots with her spunky dog Huxley.
