Hi, I’m Heather (she/they)
I'm based in Boulder, Colorado and offer in-person and virtual therapy throughout Colorado. My approach to individual and couples therapy is a present, attuned relationship, aided by a blend of modalities that promote soul-led healing, nervous system regulation, and empowerment to embrace greater awareness, choice, and freedom.
I am a graduate of Naropa University’s Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling Master’s program in Boulder, as well as Naropa’s Contemplative Buddhist Psychology Bachelor’s program, where I concentrated in Transpersonal and Humanistic Psychology, with a minor in Religious Studies. My journey in the Psychotherapy, Healing, and Advocacy fields spans over ten years of working, volunteering, and ongoing education.
Driven by a passion for creating meaningful change, I began my career advocating for the decriminalization of psychedelic substances after completing my undergraduate degree. I began my legal career supporting survivors of domestic violence and working with Boulder County's Restorative Justice program, later moving into the corporate sector where I expanded my expertise and earned a Paralegal Certificate from Boston University.
Despite my professional growth, I found myself longing for the deeper, more personal connections I had experienced while working in mental health. This path journey deepened my empathy for those seeking a life enriched with creativity, exploration, and purpose, while balancing the demands of daily life and providing for themselves and their families.
Outside of my work, I’m committed to continuous growth, pursuing education, training, and supervision to refine my skills as a therapist. I also find joy in traveling, which broadens my perspective, and in creating art, where I connect to my spirit and get to play. At home, I cherish spending time with my partner and playing with our dog, Hercules, and cat, Kevin.
