Heather has worked professionally in the field of eating disorders for 20 years and received her MFT license in 2008.

Heather became aware of her calling after her exposure to clinical art therapy. As she healed from her eating disorder through art therapy and traditional psychotherapy, she was determined to help others realize the same freedom from eating disorders that she found.
During her graduate studies, Heather immediately immersed herself in the eating disorder community and volunteered at a residential treatment facility in south-central Los Angeles until she took a position as the lead art therapist at an inpatient facility in Oxnard, California. Heather subsequently worked as a therapist at a private practice in Ventura, California,
Heather moved to the San Francisco Bay area in 2006 and took a position at a private IOP program for eating disorders. She was subsequently afforded the unique and valuable opportunity to build an inpatient eating disorder program at Alta Bates Herrick Hospital (Sutter Health) that included PHP and IOP, and was an integral part of that program for nine years.
In 2016 Heather took a position at Kaiser Permanent and provided eating disorder treatment exclusively for six years at Kaiser facilities in Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and San Rafael.
Heather grew up in northern Virginia and moved to California in 2001. Heather’s true passion is creativity in all forms. She holds hope and believes recovery is possible for all human beings. Heather lives in Sonoma County with her husband and daughter, and enjoys art, music, nature, cooking and adventure.
