COURAGE TO CENTER

Life’s challenges can be overwhelming. Things can feel confusing, and so many of us feel anxious, tired, or scared, and the weight of responsibilities can lead us to feeling disconnected from ourselves and from others. More and more we put ourselves at the bottom of the to-do list, and then wonder, why can’t I catch a break? Don’t I deserve to be happy? Yes. Yes, you do. My practice is here to provide compassionate, professional mental health therapy for people in Washington State and Florida, via Telehealth, empowering you to navigate life’s complexities.

My name is Heather- I’m a licensed psychotherapist, and a certified trauma therapist. I use evidence based, and neurobiology-informed approaches to mental health, combined with mindful and embodied, as well as cognitive strategies to support and guide you towards meaningful change. In simple terms, I like to create a mind-body connection that helps honor how you feel, as well as what you’re thinking, to help create understanding, and guide insight into what you need, and help you figure out what’s next.

I specialize in treating trauma, depression, and anxiety, and helping people navigate life transitions and interpersonal issues. I recognize that these things have often very complex origins, and that there can be generational trauma, as well as emotional reactions to being in a targeted, marginalized, or underrepresented community. My approach is collaborative, partnering with you and recognizing you as the expert in your own life. It is my belief that we can use therapy as a tool for growth and connection. Whether you’re experiencing stress or fear about social and governmental changes, or if 2025 has you feeling as if you don’t know where to turn to find safety, if you’re feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or seeking a path to self-discovery, I would love to have the opportunity to work with you on your journey. Send me a message, we can have a brief chat about what’s going on, and what it might look like to work together!
