“I’ve been able to shift patterns I’ve previously felt stuck in and create changes I didn’t know were possible. My work with Heather has been one of the most effective therapeutic experiences I’ve had, while also being fun and filled with laughter due to her balance between authentic connection and clinical expertise. As a therapist myself, she models an approach that I aspire towards. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
— PSYCHOTHERAPY CLIENT/PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Approach
The development of a gentle curiosity of one's internal and somatic experience becomes the basis for compassion and authentic expression. This contemplative, whole body relationship with Self, can then expand, with clarity and grace, the way in which we connect and relate to others and the broader world. Healing through nervous system reprocessing, parts reintegration, and the insightful care of the embodied child state. Integrating Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Polyvagal Theory, Somatic and Experiential modalities, through the lens of Buddhist and Feminist Psychology.
