Welcome
I’m Glad You’re Here.
I’m Heidi—a clinical mental health therapist and Level 1 IFS practitioner specializing in attachment patterns and relational childhood trauma. I help people get curious about ingrained emotional patterns and find deep, transformative, change.
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and other experiential, trauma-informed modalities such as EMDR and AEDP, I guide clients in holding and healing the parts of themselves that carry pain, fear, and self-doubt—so they can reconnect with their creative, compassionate Self.
