ABOUT VIKN Dynamics
Precision health
Taking care of our health means taking time to understand both the person and the complex systems they live within. There is not a "one size fits all" approach. Precision health is integrative care for the whole person. Progress and healing are multi-dimensional. At VIKN Dynamics, with your consent, we collaborate with medical, holistic, and mental health professionals to fit the needs of your lived experience. Therapy is more than symptom relief; it is the ability to repair and thrive across the systems that shape us. The most effective therapy involves you and your willingness to engage. You are the expert of your life experience. The therapist is a conduit (G. Alexander, 2024).
VIKN (Victory)
Represents the outcome—the personal wins, breakthroughs, and growth that come from doing the work. It is not about perfection. It is about the grit that comes with reclaiming your authenticity.
Dynamics
Represents the process—the movement, relationships, patterns, and systems that shape you. It is exploring how these dynamics influence your life and being curious enough to shift, challenge, or just be within them.
I am Heather.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - Associate in the state of Washington working with individuals, couples, and families. As an associate, I am grateful to work closely with my supervisor, Gary D. Alexander.
My life’s work began over 20 years ago, supporting people through injury, surgery, treatment, and recovery. The body is a gauge to the human heart —revealing powerful connections between our physical, emotional, and mental systems. Being human is an inherently dynamic experience.
As a psychotherapist, an integral part of my work is meeting you where you are in the moment. Here is a basic example, close your eyes and imagine a forest. With the image that comes to mind, are you looking at the forest? Or are you in the forest? These are two very different experiences. Whatever it looks like to you, I meet you there. Therapy is an adventure. It is also deeply personal.
Please feel free to reach me directly at heather@vikndynamics.com.
