Shape

Licensed Psychotherapist, LCPC, LPCC.

I help people find relief from anxiety, stress, and trauma symptoms that prevent them from living fully aligned with their values. My therapeutic approach is relational and with the intention of supporting clients to more compassionately, curiously, and calmly connect with all the different parts of themselves. I utilize several different evidence based practices, including:

-Eye Movement desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
-Ego State Therapy (Parts work)
-Somatic Therapy (Connecting the mind and body)
-Polyvagal Theory (Nervous system work)

Areas I can help you with

  • Anxiety
  • PTSD
  • Dissociation
  • DID
  • Inner conflict
  • Depression
  • CPTSD
  • OSDD
  • Stress

Our bodies are telling the stories we have avoided or forgotten how to hear - and sometimes our inability to feel our feelings (the messages that precede the alarm bells) means that our bodies have to scream in order to get some attention.”

What My Clients Say

Client Image

I was initially unsure about whether counselling would be able to help me with the anxiety and stress that I felt going through day to day life but I cannot believe how impactful my sessions with Heather have been. Heather has completely changed my mindset on everything and I honestly feel like a new person in such a short space of time. I would recommend Heather to anyone and I’m so glad I finally took the step to speak to someone.

The connection between my mental health and physical health were much more entwined than I had realised. Heather helped me connect how past traumas and stressors had impacted to my decline in health. Amanda worked through past traumas with me at a pace that I was happy with. She never pushed me to go deeper into things than I felt able to do. She helped me release blame and shame from myself, by realising that certain things that had happened were not my fault.
