Welcome to BetterHelp and congratulations on taking the first step towards getting help. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling, happier life and to take this moment to navigate towards a change you may have always wanted to do and realized that this is the time to do it. Now that you are ready to talk with someone I would like you to know about my background and experience.
My career started in the Summer of 1996 working with adults and children with intellectual and physical disabilities. From then on I knew my path in life was to support and help others with any challenges, obstacles and issues they are facing. Throughout my career I have worked with those struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, discrimination, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, domestic violence, grief, loss, family dynamics, career/financial stress, people with autism, traumatic brain injury and physical/emotional/sexual abuse. I have over 15 years of experience in individual therapy, group work, behavioral case management and facilitation. I have worked with individuals of various ages, creeds, races and cultures. I hope to work with you soon.
The client/therapist relationship is the key to successfully working together. I can interact with you through video sessions, phone, text, and I check messages daily. My availability is in the evenings and on the weekends. I would like to share a quote with you... "With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts" - Eleanor Roosevelt

Heather is awesome! I always feel so much better after our session and I look forward to talking to her week after week! She has given me many different perspectives on many different aspects of my life that I have never thought of before, and has given me some great advice.
