ABOUT VIKN Dynamics
Precision health
VIKN (Victory) – Represents the outcome: the personal wins, breakthroughs, and growth that come from doing the work. It’s not about perfection; it’s about the grit involved in reclaiming your authenticity.
Dynamics – Represents the process: the movement, relationships, patterns, and systems that shape you. It’s about exploring how these dynamics influence your life and being curious enough to shift, challenge, or simply exist within them.
Taking care of our health means understanding both the person and the complex systems we live within. There is no “one size fits all” approach. Precision health is integrative care for the whole person, recognizing that progress and healing are multi-dimensional.
With your consent, we can collaborate with medical, holistic, and mental health professionals to address the full scope of your lived experience. At VIKN Dynamics, therapy is more than symptom relief—it’s about repairing and thriving across the systems that shape us.
Effective therapy involves your engagement and willingness to explore. You are the expert of your own life. The therapist serves as a conduit (G. Alexander, 2024).
I am Heather.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist – Associate in 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. I’ve learned that the body is a gauge for the human heart—revealing powerful connections between our physical, emotional, and mental systems. Being human is inherently dynamic.
As a psychotherapist, I meet clients where they are in the moment. Here’s a simple example: close your eyes and imagine a forest. Are you looking at the forest, or are you in the forest? These are two very different experiences. Whatever your experience looks like, I meet you there.
Therapy is both an adventure and a deeply personal journey. If what you've read resonates with you, I welcome the opportunity to connect with you. Please feel free to reach me directly at heather@vikndynamics.com.
