Hi, I’m
heather
I'm a therapist, but more than that –
I'm someone who believes deeply in the body's wisdom, the intelligence of your survival strategies, and your capacity to heal when you finally feel safe enough to slow down and listen.

MY STORY
I didn't come to this work by accident.
Like many therapists, I found my way here through my own need to understand—to make sense of the patterns I saw in myself, the ways I'd learned to protect myself that no longer served me, and the deep longing to feel more at home in my own body and life.
My path to becoming a therapist has been winding, shaped by curiosity about the human experience, a love for creative expression, and a deep respect for the body's role in healing.
I've always been drawn to the question: Why do we do what we do? And more importantly: How do we help ourselves feel safe enough to do something different?
Through my own therapy, training, and life experiences, I discovered that healing isn't about becoming someone else. It's about coming back to yourself—to the parts of you that got buried, the needs that went unmet, the voice that learned to stay quiet.
That's the work I do now: helping people come home to themselves.
How I Work
Holistic & Body-Centered
I see you as a whole person—your anxiety isn't separate from your body, your relationship patterns aren't disconnected from your past. We work with all of it: mind, body, emotions, and the wisdom of your nervous system.
A Big Toolbox of Approaches
I draw from somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems, Gestalt, brainspotting, expressive arts, and nervous system regulation. Sometimes we use one approach, often we blend several. I meet you where you are and work with what your system needs most.
Tailored to Your System
I offer tools to make sense of things you've been struggling with or simplify issues.
In our sessions, we’ll talk, with options to move deeper through art, movement & mindfulness. I follow what wants to emerge, trusting that your system knows what it needs.
Relational
& Safe
Your nervous system needs to know it can relax here. Healing happens in relationship—when you finally feel safe enough to let your guard down and explore what you've been carrying.
Present-Focused & Experiential
We pay attention to what's happening right now—in your body, your emotions, your awareness. Not just talking about patterns, but noticing them as they unfold. This is where real change becomes possible.
Guided, Not Directive
My role isn't to fix you.
It's to hold space for your transformation, help you trust your own process, and walk alongside you as you discover what's possible when you're not running on survival mode anymore.

modalities I use
I work from a big toolbox of therapeutic approaches, and I use what your system needs most in any given moment.
Sometimes that's one modality, often it's a blend of several.
Here are the approaches I draw from:
Somatic Psychotherapy
Listening to what your body holds—the stories your mind can't always access.
Brainspotting
A focused, body-centered way to process trauma and anxiety that feel stuck.
Gestalt Therapy
Noticing what's happening right now so you can choose something different.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Understanding the different parts of you and helping them work together.
Expressive Arts Therapy
Using creative expression to access what words can't reach.
Nervous System Regulation
Helping your body learn that it's safe to settle after being in survival mode.
Attachment theory
Understanding attachment patterns and breaking cycles of pursuit and withdrawal.
Somatic Concentric Sex Therapy
Body-centered work with intimacy, sexuality, communication and reconnecting to desire.
You're not broken. Your anxiety, your depression, your relationship patterns, the ways you shut down or create self-imposed limitations—these aren't flaws.
They're intelligent strategies your system developed to keep you safe. And they worked, until they didn't.
Healing happens in relationship. Not just the therapeutic relationship, but in how you relate to yourself, to your body, to your emotions, to the parts of you yearning for your love.
Your body holds wisdom that your mind can't always access. Trauma, grief, and unprocessed emotions live in your nervous system, your muscles, your breath. Talk therapy alone isn't always enough.
Transformation doesn't happen through force. When you work with me as your guide, I’ll work to make that transformation feel more gentle, consistent, and easier.
You don't need to have all the answers before we begin. Part of the process is discovering what you didn't even know you were carrying.
What I Believe
Therapy isn't about becoming someone else. It's about coming home to who you've always been underneath the survival strategies.
WHO I WORK WITH
I work with…
individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, creative blocks, answering the deep desire for a more authentic, soul-led life.
I work with…
couples who are stuck in painful patterns—the same arguments, the same disconnection—and want to rebuild trust, intimacy, and genuine connection.
I work with…
people who've tried traditional talk therapy and felt like something was missing. People who sense that their healing needs to involve all of them, not just their thoughts.
I work with…
creatives, highly sensitive people, and those navigating big questions about who they are and what they're here to do.
I work with…
people who are curious about transformation— and ready to embrace the messy, vulnerable, transformative work of coming back to themselves.
Training & Credentials
I'm also a lifelong learner, constantly deepening my understanding of how healing happens—through workshops, supervision, consultation, and my own ongoing therapy and personal work.

Beyond Therapy
When I'm not in session, you'll find me exploring the trails around Boulder, working with plants, moving my body, making food for friends and family, or sitting with a cup of tea watching the light change across the mountains.
I believe in the healing power of beauty, of being in nature, of creative expression, of slowing down enough to actually feel what I’m feeling. These aren't separate from therapy—they're part of how I understand what it means to be fully alive.
I bring my whole self to this work, and I invite you to do the same.
A Different Kind of Therapy
If you're looking for someone to give you a 10-step plan to success, I'm probably not the right fit. But if you're looking for someone to walk alongside you as you discover your own answers, to hold space for the messy middle of transformation, and to help you trust yourself again—then we might work well together.
I believe therapy should feel like coming home to yourself, not performing for someone else. It should feel like permission to be exactly where you are, with all your contradictions and complications.
This work isn't about fixing you. It's about helping you move beyond the limitations you’ve experienced to feel more choice, freedom, and enjoyment.
READY TO BEGIN?
If this resonates with you, I'd love to connect. The first step is a free 20-minute consultation where we can talk about what's bringing you in, what you're hoping for, and whether we're a good fit.
You don't need to have it all figured out.
You just need to be ready to try.
