Hi I'm Heather! I'm a licensed mental health counselor with over 15 year of experience working with adults, kids, and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and parenting challenges . I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is empathic, down to earth, and strength based. I believe in meeting people where they are at and expanding upon the unique skills that each of my client's have within them. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs and help set you on a path to meet your goals!
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Grief, Parenting issues, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes

Heather is fantastic - she's so easy to talk and was easy to form a comfortable relationship and connection with fast. She feels like talking to a friend, with fantastic expertise and advice. She is very flexible with scheduling and responsive when things change. I totally recommend her!

Heather has been really helpful in helping me work through a few different concerns of mine. She has provided helpful exercises, journaling suggestions, and worksheets for me to work through the concerns I addressed with her when we were first matched. For our in person sessions, she is prepared to both let me bring up something to discuss or to discuss what I journaled about/reflected upon through the resources she provides. She is non-judgmental and easy to talk to.
