Welcome to BetterHelp! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Supervisor (LPC-S) licensed in Texas with 23 years of counseling experience working in various settings. I have worked with clients whose concerns include, but are not limited to: depression, anxiety, relationships, addictions, LGBTQ+ issues, loss and grief, career, spirituality, and personal growth and development.
My counseling style is warm and collaborative. I strive to provide a safe and welcoming space that encourages clients to share what they need to share with me as comfortably as possible. My approach combines primarily cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic modalities, but I am adept and familiar with others. Depending on your specific needs and readiness for change, you and I will discover your goals and identify ways best suited for you to achieve them. I will check in with you throughout the counseling process to ensure our work together feels like a good fit for you. It is important that you feel heard, understood, accepted, and empowered. It takes courage to reach out for help and to take the first step towards change. I applaud you! If you are ready to take the next steps, I am here to support you along your journey.
I look forward to working with you!

Heather’s approach to talk therapy has been a breath of fresh air compared to my past negative therapy experiences with other providers. She has really helped me stay on track to becoming the best version of myself. I have seen leaps and bounds of progress in only a few months of sessions with her, compared to years of dragging my feet with other therapists. Her approach is unique, gentle, thoughtful and something really quite special. I highly recommend Heather for anyone reluctant to try therapy again.

She's been there with me through thick and thin. In the last year, she has been a guide, a confidante, and a steady hand. Her open and nonjudgmental approach has helped me immeasurably to hold a balanced and reassuring perspective in times where I have slipped into negativity. She honestly helped me come out of a deep pit just by reminding me why I was feeling the way I was, and encouraging me to keep going. Would strongly recommend.

I cannot tell you the relief I get when I see in my inbox that I have received a reply from Heather.

I feel I have made great progress with her, and I'm having an easier time evening out my moods.
