Dr. Heather has been healing hearts and minds since 1997.She
specializes in helping individuals, couples, and families break through
old, sometimes hidden emotional barriers that prevent permanent change.
Despite
working full time to pay her own way through college, Dr. Heather
obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree with honors from U.C. Santa Barbara.
She was then rewarded with a full ride scholarship to attend Ryokan
College (a private college specializing in psychology) to obtain her
Masters degree in Clinical Psychology.She completed her doctorate in 1994 from the same institution.After
logging more than 3,000 in-residence counseling hours under the
supervision of nationally-known and respected doctors Michael Fenton
and Michael Faust, she became a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
in 1997.
Growing
up in a secular household, Dr. Heather has a unique perspective on why
healing must involve both the mind and soul, and the danger of omitting
either one from the process.By creating an environment
where people create their own unique synergistic emotional healing plan
of action, she helps people facilitate quick resolutions…as long as the
patients work their plan.
Dr. Heather became a Christian 15 years ago during her studies and work in psychology.Her faith colors her work.She views all issues as a dynamic physical manifestation of a spiritual challenge.
Dr. Heather is a published author and can be seen weekly as the relationship expert on the television program Daybreak OC .
