About Heather
Her style combines reflection with action. Sessions aim to uncover limiting beliefs and build emotional skills people can use between meetings. She helps clients move from insight to real behavior changes that fit their goals.
Heather uses several evidence-based methods to tailor care. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to rethink unhelpful thoughts and on dialectical strategies to manage intense emotions. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and intimacy concerns.
Therapy with her often addresses career shifts, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem or body image. She also works with issues like codependency, abandonment, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue in a straightforward way.
Sessions are meant to be both compassionate and focused. Heather encourages people to take responsibility for their growth while recognizing the hard parts. Her goal is to help clients leave therapy feeling more grounded, clear, and able to handle life with purpose.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Heather regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable feelings appear, which helps with stress, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT looks at the thoughts that drive unhelpful feelings and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made. The plan grows out of what a client wants to change and what feels doable for them.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone. It can also let people use video or audio options depending on comfort, bandwidth, and the kind of session needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT work to online settings to focus on values-based action, thought restructuring, and skills practice between sessions.
