Are you looking for a therapist who isn’t afraid to talk about the very difficult parts of you? Maybe you have long-term trauma that hasn’t been addressed, or maybe there are aspects of yourself that feel too shameful to speak about. With warmth and compassion, Heidi will help you address these parts of yourself and work toward integrating them in a way that is trauma-informed and sensitive to your needs.
Heidi works with clients facing post-trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, life transitions, values-alignment, emotional development, and concerns related to self-esteem, confidence, and empowerment. Together, you will discover how to work with your emotions and develop a trusting, grounded relationship with yourself.
Heidi is LGBTQ2+ identifying and affirming and welcomes clients to come exactly as they are. Her work is grounded in the belief that each person is essentially good and worthy.
Person-Centred
You are the authority on your own experience. Heidi follows your lead and tailors the work to what matters most to you.
Emotion-Focused
Paying close attention to emotional experience as a source of information. The work helps you understand and work with your feelings rather than push them away.
Focusing-Oriented
Slowing down to check in with the body’s felt sense. This approach helps you access awareness that isn’t always available through thinking alone.
Trauma-Informed
Safety and pacing guide all the work. Heidi brings a deep understanding of how past experiences can shape present-day functioning and a sense of self.
