Hi, I’m Heather.

I’m so glad that you are here. I am a relational therapist who supports individuals, couples, and relational systems to establish, build, maintain, and grow their emotional bonds with the self and others. I see healing as directly connected to emotional processing, awareness, and the ability to re-experience relationships in a new way.

My therapy practice is rooted in emotion-focused (EFT), narrative, attachment, humanistic, and strengths-based approaches. Additionally, I use a systemic lens in the counseling process, seeing a person in the context of their values, intergenerational patterns, salient identities, and societal experiences.

I have experience working in community mental health, residential programs, and group practices, specializing in working with the LGBTQIA+ community. Prior to my training and work as a therapist, I spent seven years working in international development (including the U.S. Peace Corps) and non-profit management in East Africa.

When not in the therapy room, you can find me writing and journaling, hiking in the mountains, rollerblading in the city, and spending time with my wife, son, and our cat, Moira.
