About Heather
Her work balances listening with action. Sessions combine reflection about patterns with skills to manage emotions and behaviors. She focuses on identifying limiting beliefs, strengthening emotional resilience, and shaping a clearer sense of purpose.
Heather draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques and strategies from dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses attachment-focused ideas and client-centered conversation to help people feel heard and understood. These tools are used together to match each person's needs and goals.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns such as grief, addiction, caregiver stress, body image and eating issues, attention differences, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing career questions, intimacy-related worries, and trauma or abuse recovery.
Sessions aim to turn insight into practical change. Heather offers clear next steps, homework when useful, and a steady focus on what will help someone function better day to day. Her style is warm, straightforward, and focused on real-world results.

How her approaches adapt to online work
Heather commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear, which can help with stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people develop more secure ways of connecting and relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Heather will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together decide which methods to try first. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps the most for daily functioning and long-term aims.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and the ability to continue work during life transitions. This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can support using ACT, attachment work, or CBT tools in ways that fit a person’s routine and goals.
