Meet Heather

Hi! I’m Heather. I became a therapist because there was a time in my own life when I kept saying, "I don't understand."

From the outside, my life looked stable. I had master's degree in Environmental Science, I built a career, published research, and met the responsibilities expected of me. Yet in my relationships, I found myself increasingly confused, exhausted, and I didn’t know it at the time, but I was disconnected from myself. No matter how hard I worked to understand, accommodate, or repair, I couldn’t find the “solution.”

Therapy helped me see my life through an entirely different lens. I began to understand how earlier relationships had shaped the way I understood love, responsibility, and connection. More importantly, I discovered that while I couldn't change the past or others around me, I could choose how I wanted to live going forward.

Over the next decade, I immersed myself in understanding human development, relationships, trauma, philosophy, and psychology. I became less interested in asking, "What's wrong with me?" and more interested in asking, "How did this way of relating develop, what purpose has it served, and what becomes possible when it no longer fits?"

That question continues to guide my work today.

I believe we are always in the process of becoming, and that we each have the opportunity to take an active role in shaping who we become.
