About me
As a licensed therapist in New Jersey with over two decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth—particularly for older adults and young professionals.
I bring deep expertise in addressing stress, anxiety, communication difficulties, and interpersonal dynamics. My therapeutic approach focuses on empowering individuals to develop self-compassion, overcome social anxieties, and rediscover their sense of purpose. I have extensive experience supporting clients through significant life changes, including divorce, midlife transitions, and caregiver stress.
My work is rooted in understanding the nuanced emotional experiences that shape our lives. I offer compassionate guidance for those struggling with mood disorders, relationship challenges, and personal growth obstacles. Whether you're dealing with feelings of isolation, shame, or seeking to improve your interpersonal connections, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional insight.

Heather is awesome, she has been such a big help to me!
Written on Jun 02, 2023 after therapy with Heather for 1 year on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and self esteem
She is very sweet and considerate of everything. Doesn’t out right try to solve problems for me, she takes the time to work through it with me. So I can understand more and have room to put in my own work.
