Most often, healing happens in the context of relationship.
Hi! I'm Heather. Welcome to Embodied Hope Therapy and Wellness! The therapeutic relationship we establish over weeks and months is central to my treatment approach. Your sense of emotional safety is very important to me, and I work hard to build that with you, over time.
I am a very relational therapist. My approaches are primarily attachment-based, somatic and embodied, very person-centered, and polyvagal theory/nervous system regulation-based. If you don't know what those things mean, just ask! I'd be happy to share about all of it. I offer a free 15-30 minute telephone consult to all prospective clients so you can learn about my approach, ask questions, and assess whether you think we might be a good fit!
My specialties for individuals are: sexual betrayal trauma, emotional and psychological abuse in marriage/partnership, CPTSD, enmeshment, attachment issues, and trauma. I also offer a very neurodivergent-affirming/friendly space and approach!
