Welcome! I'm Heidi

My approach is rooted is relational and holistic models, such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Attachment-based theory. I believe you are the expert of your experience and my role is to guide you in accessing your own inner wisdom and source of self-compassion.

What is IFS?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that views the mind as a system of interconnected parts, each with its own unique perspectives and roles. These parts may include critical or anxious parts, vulnerable “Exiles,” and adaptive “Protector” parts. IFS helps clients understand these parts, build healthier relationships between them, and access their true Self to become the “Wise Adult” leader of the system. Through this process, clients can heal from past traumas, break free from limiting patterns, and unlock their full potential.

What is EMDR?

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a psychotherapy technique that helps people process and resolve traumatic memories. By guiding clients through a series of bilateral stimulation (e.g., eye movements, tapping), EMDR helps reprocess distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. This can lead to improved mental health, reduced symptoms of PTSD, and greater overall well-being.
