Heather is grateful to be living in Golden, where she has been working as a counsellor for the past 14 years. She is a Registered Theraprutic Counsellor, holds an MA in Expressive Arts Therapy, and is a Certified HeartMath practitioner. She has studied and engaged in meditation and mindfulness-based practices for 10+ years and continues to find profound support from this in all areas of her life. She is currently undertaking training in Somatic Therapy, and has studied and worked with somatic experiencing for many years. 

Heather finds genuine joy working with a client-centered approach and supporting people to feel present and empowered in their lives. She has supported individuals navigating many different challenges including stress, anxiety, self-doubt, feelings of overwhelm, feeling stuck, boundary issues, abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, gender-based violence, childhood trauma, life transitions, sexual identity, addictions, discrimination, grief and loss, and aging. 

Heather is aware of how hard it can be for many people to engage in counselling. She strives to create a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where a person can come work with whatever may be feeling challenging in their lives at that moment. Drawing on her training and love for Expressive Arts Therapy, mindfulness, and somatic experiencing-based work, Heather believes there is restorative and transformational power at the heart of all these modalities. She understands they are available for all people, and do not require prior experience or skill. 

Heather is passionate about working with a trauma-informed lens while helping people connect with their personal strengths.  This allows her clients to discover their authentic voice and open to creative possibilities. She helps people discover their own ability to heal and move towards a more loving, peaceful and joyful way of being in their lives. 

Her practice is rooted in her love of nature, the beauty and transformative power of creativity, and the belief that we are all connected. She believes that in each of our unique and authentic ways, when we heal ourselves, we heal each other. She is currently working with people 18 years and older and she will be honored to work with you.
