My Training
I am a licensed, Master’s Level Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience specializing in holistic therapy, parent training, behavioral consultation and life coaching.
I have advanced training in Pathological Demand Avoidance, Military and Veteran Care, and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy. I work with adults throughout the lifespan, but have an intuitive gift working with children.
I travel to support clients across the country in their healing journeys. I am firmly dedicated to guiding my clients toward greater self-awareness, resiliency, and authentic living.
My Holistic Approach to Therapy
Healing isn’t just about fixing a problem, it’s about being open to exploration. I see each of my clients as a whole person, helping them explore how their experiences have shaped their lives. My holistic approach to therapy recognizes that everything is interconnected, and true change occurs when we look beyond just the surface to understand what’s possible.
You deserve support that honors every part of who you are. A holistic approach meets you where you are and guides you toward where you want to be, helping you unlock your full potential and create lasting transformations.

Just Me
I believe it’s important to acknowledge and share my social identity with potential clients, as it shapes how I move through the world and informs my approach to therapy. I recognize the privileges I hold and strive to honor and respect each person’s unique experiences. I invite anyone who feels my support could be helpful to come as you are, with the understanding that I am here to truly see and honor you.

I am Heather (she/her/hers)—a harm reduction volunteer, a beloved aunt, animal lover, writer, yogi, and tactical combative martial artist. I find peace in the quiet, deep woods of Pennsylvania and feel invigorated by the vastness of the California coastline. I live an open, honest, and alternative lifestyle with my partner embracing fluidity and honoring each person’s individual journey.
​
My identity is shaped by a blend of values, experiences, and the relationships I hold dear, and I bring that understanding and openness into the work I do with my clients.
