What is your story…
Welcome.
Sexual and psychological wellbeing are at the core of my practice. Often, we ignore our fundamental needs in order to serve others. Through acknowledging that the problem is not always what we think it is and working to identify personal strengths, we begin the process of empowerment and healing. We become more self-aware, more self-confident, and more willing to step outside of the “box” both sexually and within our vast array of relationships, including the relationship with ourselves. People often live within the boundaries of the systemic societal narratives that have been scripted for us. We all deserve the opportunity to tell our story as we have experienced it. We are all deserving of pleasure, satisfaction, and a safe space to discuss our areas of distress. This is your opportunity.
Areas of focus include sexual and psychological wellness, anxiety, depression, teen challenges, pregnancy and postpartum issues, LGBTQIA+ and gender exploration, general unhappiness and stepparent support. My approach is integrative and client focused. After meeting with you, we will decide on the best course of treatment utilizing a combination of Narrative Therapy, Feminist Family Therapy, and Solution-Focused interventions as our foundation. My approach is flexible and realistic in order to meet client needs.
I happily accept ALL folx. Come one, come all.
Meet Heather.
I have dedicated my academic career to understanding the complexities of the human experience including the sexual side of humanity. The pandemic has created a seemingly never-ending void of social, emotional, psychological and sexual issues. Many have come to the conclusion of “this is my life now” feeling too stuck to pursue change. We have all felt stuck and we all deserve to feel supported, to feel heard, and to have a safe and neutral space to be angry, sad, happy, and honest. As humans we sometimes start out on a path that leads us to another destination altogether. We realize that the problem is not the problem at all. As we untangle the web of our lives we start to see ourselves more clearly and understand our experiences more authentically. This is your process; I am here to support and aid you in your process to understanding your uniquely human experiences. We all deserve to experience the pleasures life has to offer.
I am a mother, a stepparent, a student, a partner, an ally, a friend, a baker, a lover of true crime, and a writer. I enjoy spending time with my partner and our two children, preferably camping.
