Meet Heather
NURSE PRACTITIONER. PSYCHOTHERAPIST. MOTHER. OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST.
HI! I’m Heather. I’ve been practicing in the field of advanced practice nursing for over 15 years and moved into counselling and psychotherapy in 2020 when I recognized the current medical system was not meeting the unique needs of folks struggling with physical or mental health concerns. I also recognized that few local resources were available to support transgendered individuals receive equitable access to primary care and specialist services in Grey-Bruce.
When not in session, you may find me downtown where I practice as a street NP advocating for equitable and accessible medical care for vulnerable individuals living in chronic homelessness, with addiction and mental health issues in Grey County.
In my free time, you’ll find me chasing waterfalls, climbing the escarpment or deep in a forest along the Bruce Trail or wading in the crystal blue waters of Georgian Bay with my 4 school-aged children and 2 dogs.
My Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic approach with individuals rests on the belief that everyone is doing the best they can with the tools and resources they have at any given moment. I provide a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space to be seen, heard, and understood. My mission is to provide clients with an accessible and supportive space to reclaim their bodies and empower their own health + healing with an emphasis on choice and safety.
This approach aims to improve the connection between your body and mind and re-train your central nervous system to organically move toward balance when wellness has been impacted by physical or mental health concerns, persistent pain, chronic illness/women's health, overwhelming life events, and trauma.
My approach to therapy is unique and focuses on what is happening in a client's body to both inform and gently shift uncomfortable physical, emotional, behavioural, and cognitive patterns. If this unique type of therapy and coaching resonates with you, please get in touch with me today to book a free 15 minute consultation.
