Hey there! 👋🏽 I’m Heather, and I love working with people who feel stuck in patterns around food, relationships, or money. Our relationship with body image, intimacy, and spending usually goes deeper than surface behavior. Our behaviors have been shaped by how we’ve learned to cope, feel safe, or feel accepted in our world…and they may have even worked at some point!

In our work together, we’ll look at the bigger picture — including identity, culture, and the messages you’ve absorbed over time — to help understand the motivation behind those behaviors and to figure out what you need now.

I draw from practical tools, like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), financial psychology, and a weight-inclusive, culturally aware lens. I’ve worked in settings like eating disorder treatment, sexual assault recovery, and adoption support, and have presented on topics like how cultural identity, family roles, and life experiences shape our relationships with food, sex, and money.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as an accountant — which now helps me support clients with financial stress, avoidance, or navigating money in their relationships. I also offer coaching and bookkeeping for fellow therapists in private practice.

A little more about my approach:

• I use a mix of practical tools (think CBT and ACT) with a deep understanding of how our early relationships shape how we show up.

• I believe your story is influenced by more than just your past — it’s shaped by culture, race, body politics, family roles, and the systems we all navigate.

• I don’t believe in pathologizing compulsive behavior. Instead, I am curious about what they are doing for you. We already know the cons, but do we know the pros?
