I specialize in treating those who are struggling with anxiety and coping with trauma. I take an integrative approach to therapy and pull from a variety of modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, trauma therapy, and dialectal behavior therapy. Though I have experience with all ages, I am only accepting new adult clients at this time.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have 20 years of experience in the mental health field and have worked with all ages. I am married and have three active children (ages 9, 13, and 17) so I am aware of the stresses of parenting at different stages, and the chaos that comes with managing multiple school aged children and their activities.

Heather has been great at helping me make progress on identifying my feelings and being more assertive. She asks questions that bring to light things about myself I knew but haven't been able to vocalize. She is easy to talk to and I always feel better after our sessions
