About Heather
Registered Psychotherapist, Counsellor
MHP Member, Prepare & Enrich Couples certified, Virtual Therapy Trained, EMDR (Level 1 & 2)
My name is Heather and I am a Registered Psychotherapist and I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2017. My educational background includes a B.A. Hons. in Clinical Psychology as well as a Master’s of Divinity in Clinical Counselling. I am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario as a Psychotherapist and am a member with the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP). I have training and experience in EMDR therapy and am privileged to offer this type of support to the clients I work with.
Every person has a need to feel safe and be heard. As a counsellor, I aim to hold a safe space for each client. Safety includes no judgement and a belief that at our core we are all doing the best we can. Holding this space is the beginning- of counselling and often of change, healing and growth. Each client is supported individually based on their presenting needs, personality and goals.
My priority is to support individuals, as they walk through the various challenges of life. These challenges look a little different for all of us. Our backgrounds and life experiences affect and influence our brains to be programmed in response to things. I often meet with people who share a frustration with feeling stuck. This ‘stuckness’ can be overwhelming. Through counselling these pieces that keep us stuck can be attended too. Often when we are heard it is the beginning of new things- new thoughts, new feelings, new behaviors, new purpose.
Outside of the office I do life with my young family. I have been married for 15 amazing years and am the proud mother of 3 wonderful kids. I know what it is like to switch hats between work and home life and the ups and downs which come with that. Sometimes it is a rollercoaster and I continue to return to a belief in the steady consistency of intentional connection. I am a firm believer in the power of this authentic connection to build a meaningful life with the self and others.
