Heather’s experience stems from her work with survivors of abuse and trauma. She has had the
honour of walking alongside children, adolescents, adults, and families as they navigate
challenges arising from all forms of violence including depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, OCD,
self-injury, attachment trauma, addiction, emotion dysregulation, and other concurrent mental
health conditions. She views wellbeing from a systemic and intersectional feminist lens, helping
clients make sense of their concerns in a way that reduces self-blame and encourages self-
efficacy. Heather brings a sense of humour and lightheartedness to her sessions while also
preserving a safe and comforting space for self-exploration and processing. Her belief is that
even the smallest of changes can have far-reaching impacts and aims to support her clients in making strides towards increased resiliency in the face of life’s obstacles.
Whether you are seeking short-term support or a long-term therapeutic relationship, Heather’s
strengths-based, solution-focused, and trauma-informed approach ensures you get the most
out of your sessions and aims to instill a sense of hope, belonging, and empowerment with
each visit. She takes an integrative approach drawing from several therapeutic techniques
including CBT, DBT, the ARC framework, existentialism, mindfulness, as well as art and play
based expressive therapies.
