About me
I am licensed in South Carolina with clinical experience as both a Clinic-Based Therapist and a Clinic Director. Additionally, I have spent the last several years developing and teaching wellness programming for children and adults that focuses on mindfulness, movement, problem-solving, communication, social connection, coping, and relaxation skills. I have developed a Mindful Parenting Program as well. I am certified in Foundations of Meditation and as a Trauma-Informed Yoga Instructor. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, parenting challenges, feelings of disconnection, trauma, and coping with life changes. My theoretical framework stems from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and other research-based modalities. My therapeutic style is very client-centered as I believe that you are the expert on your life. We can partner together to create a plan that meets your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes tremendous courage and I am truly honored to be a part of your growth and journey towards the life that you want.

Heather is more than the best therapist I can imagine, she is my favorite person. I have never felt more capable. She is brilliant, she is kind, she patient, and she really cares. Heather will meet you where you are always! Theres is no judgement, there is always appreciation for the small wins which encourages more and more of them. She has an endless arsenal of tools to assist in a situation. It is hard to always apply what we learn in the moments we need them but every time I do- I feel stronger and when I share that experience with her she is so encouraging! As someone who was not comfortable with therapy, she met me at my pace and thats never changed. I would recommend her to anyone- she is that amazing.

Heather is amazing!!! I am a 20 year old in college and I was a little worried about finding a therapist who would be able to fully connect with me and some of my struggles since there is such a change in generations, but Heather is amazing I have been working with her the past 2 months. This is the first time I have ever done therapy and I could not be happier with how much I see myself improving and actually working on things to change how I feel and watching them be effective.

So far while I’ve been with Heather, she’s been nothing but supportive and given me tools to help me feel better and understand myself. There’s been nothing but improvement, and she’s been able to clearly understand my emotions and provide me some clarity. Not a doubt in my mind she knows what she’s doing!
