Discovering the common threads in our diverse human connections nurtures empathy and fosters unity across all walks of life.
Hi, I’m Heath
I am a counseling psychologist deeply committed to exploring and nurturing the vast spectrum of family and relationship configurations in contemporary society. As the Co-Founder of the Modern Family Institute, and Founding Co-chair of the American Psychological Association's Division 44 Committee on Consensual Non-Monogamy, my focus is on understanding and supporting the varied factors that contribute to a broader and inclusive understanding of relationship dynamics. Leveraging my comprehensive experience in both research and clinical practice, notably my time at UC Berkeley, I aim to enrich our collective insight into the complexities of human connections, striving to cultivate more robust, meaningful relationships. Join me on this journey of discovery and growth as we navigate the intricate tapestry of modern love and kinship.
AS A NOTED EXPERT IN MODERN FAMILIES AND RELATIONSHIPS, I UTILIZE THE LATEST SCHOLARSHIP TO INFORM MY COUNSELING PRACTICE AND POLICY DESIGN WORK.
