“Heather’s expertise has been the anchor that has kept me centered, enabling me to unravel and understand the complexities of my experiences. Heather is more than a guide; she is like a personal trainer for the psyche, dedicated to working alongside you. For anyone in search of a partner in the journey of self-discovery and mental resilience, Heather is the right choice.”
Embodied Psychotherapy
You may understand yourself well and still find that certain reactions, patterns, or ways of coping are difficult to change. Past experiences can continue to shape how you feel about yourself and the world, how your nervous system responds, and how you move through everyday life.
Embodied psychotherapy goes beyond insight alone, creating space to work with these patterns as they show up in thoughts, emotions, and the body. Using Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal-informed approaches, and EMDR, therapy supports greater awareness of protective strategies, care for younger or vulnerable parts of the self, and the capacity to respond from a more grounded and resourced adult state.
The therapeutic relationship is grounded in warmth, compassion, and careful pacing. Together, we work toward greater integration of internal experience, increased nervous system flexibility, and access to adaptive responses that can emerge when there is enough safety and support. The work emphasizes depth, self-awareness, and sustainable change—not simply understanding why something happens, but creating greater choice in how you experience yourself and move through your life.
Individual psychotherapy is available to adults, with specialization in trauma, attachment and developmental injury, PTSD, CPTSD, relational health, sexuality, LGBTQIA2S+ experiences and identity, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Individual Psychotherapy: $180 per hour session; extended sessions prorated accordingly.
Recommended Frequency: Weekly or biweekly, based on clinical needs and treatment goals.
“What sets Heather apart is her ability to go deep. She helped us explore our long-standing family patterns, showing us how they impacted our marriage and giving us the tools to break those cycles so we can be the parents we truly want to be.”

Embodied Couples Therapy
You may care deeply about each other and still find yourselves caught in familiar cycles—reacting, withdrawing, becoming overwhelmed, struggling to communicate, or losing connection with yourselves and each other. Even when you understand what is happening, it can be difficult to change these patterns in the moments when they matter most.
Embodied couples therapy supports authentic connection by bringing together Internal Family Systems-informed, somatic, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy approaches. Rather than focusing only on what you say to one another, we become curious about what is happening underneath—your emotions, parts, somatic cues, nervous system responses, and attachment patterns as they emerge within the relationship.
Together, we explore both present-day challenges and the deeper relational patterns, family-of-origin experiences, and interactional cycles that may shape how you connect. Developing greater awareness of your own internal experience can help you stay more connected to yourself while also understanding your partner through both cognitive and felt experience.
The work supports healthier communication, emotional regulation, sexuality and intimacy, and greater safety, clarity, and flexibility within the relationship. Reflective and experiential work is integrated with evidence-based relational skills and interventions, creating opportunities not simply to understand your patterns, but to experience new ways of being with one another.
All forms of relationships are welcome, including couples and partners across diverse relationship structures, sexual orientations, and gender identities. I offer an affirming, inclusive space for exploring the unique strengths, complexities, and experiences each relationship brings.
