Her training includes programs and therapies such as Postpartum Support International, Mothers & Babies, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive and behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. She emphasizes the value of individualized daily habits and actions to support mental health and aims to provide a thoughtful space for reflection, problem-solving, and exploring ways to live a healthier and more satisfying life.

Evidence-Informed Therapies Delivered Remotely

Heather often integrates cognitive and behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - commonly called ACT - supports values-based action and learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings rather than being controlled by them, which can be useful for life transitions and persistent worry. Emotion Focused Therapy helps individuals and couples explore and process core emotions to improve connection and resolve relationship or attachment issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Heather works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible options for connecting by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to access support from home. These formats allow therapists and clients to focus on skill-building, communication, and emotional healing in ways that suit different lifestyles and comfort levels.
