Hi! I'm Dr. Heather

 

I've been a psychotherapist and a mother for 25 years.  I love both roles deeply.  I am excellent at helping people change sticky thought processes and see the other side of challenging situations. They call me the "reframe queen". My specialties are couples communication and intimacy, grief and loss, spirituality and faith, and transforming lives into expressions of beauty and joy.
 
There is no stuck.  We just see it that way. Changing our perspective changes our experience.  I am incredibly grateful for my sharp mind, a fast wit, and a massive amount of energy and light. I am here to show you that you can lighten and enlighten your load. Or just dump it. I use metaphor, storytelling, imagery, and humor in my work. You will find me approachable, smart, deeply compassionate, with a goofy side. 
 
I have been published in Inc. Magazine, Insider Magazine, Toronto Sun,  Psychology Today, Focus on the Family's "Thriving Family", Light + Life, and hundreds of journals and reviews.  I was selected out of 1000's to be the Relationship Expert on DayBreak OC for a television season and have been interviewed several times on ABC7 news. I am currently creating an on-line Communications course.  I am an active YouTuber (see my link on the first page), supporting our community in relationship, communication, and self-love. 
 
My greatest desire is to support you in drawing closer to your true self, your inner wisdom, and your purpose. Our lives are an amazing adventure and blessing, given freely to us to explore and to share love, our uniqueness, and our stories. Let me encourage and empower you in sharing yours.
