About Heather

Background and approach
Heather draws on about ten years of counseling experience in a variety of settings, including elder care, community mental health, and university counseling. She has also worked closely with members of the LGBTQIAP+ and plural communities and with front-line workers. Her background includes work with trauma-related conditions and dissociative disorders, and she speaks from both clinical experience and personal history.
Her approach mixes Jungian ideas about meaning and symbols with client-centered listening and skills-based methods such as dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally focused techniques.

Heather offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and communication preferences.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online work
Heather blends Jungian Therapy with client-centered listening and dialectical behavior therapy to meet different needs. Jungian Therapy looks at personal symbols and life stories to find meaning and shifts in perspective, which can help with questions about identity, grief, and long-term change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can help with anxiety, anger, and overwhelming feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens collaboratively. Heather will talk with each person about goals, try techniques that fit those goals, and adjust the plan when something isn’t working. The aim is to combine insight and practical tools so sessions feel useful from week to week.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, real-time coaching, and ongoing reminders between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into varied schedules and communication styles.
