Background and approach
She draws on Client-Centered methods to create a supportive environment where a person’s experience guides the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new habits. Heather also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and Mindfulness Therapy to help people ground themselves in the present.
These approaches are adapted to each person's goals and pace. She works with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, eating and body image issues, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family and communication problems, caregiver stress, codependency, and coping with life changes like divorce and loss.
Heather aims to help people build clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and more self-compassion. Sessions are offered in English and held online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Heather uses a collaborative style and helps people set realistic goals they can work toward between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and focuses on listening, acceptance, and working at a pace that feels right. It helps people feel understood and build trust before tackling harder work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and helps people test and change those patterns to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. That collaborative process lets the plan shift as needs change and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and more typical therapy flow. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, quick coaching, or flexible communication between longer sessions. These options make it easier to attend sessions from work, school breaks, or home and to keep therapy consistent during life transitions.
