About me

Hi! I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from USC and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Utah. I am a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) for the Department of Transportation, and a Crisis Counselor for the State of Utah. I have worked extensively in areas such as addictions, domestic violence, crisis assessment and management, and LGBTQ populations. I am also a Field Instructor for several universities, including the University of Utah, USC, University of Phoenix, and Utah Valley University, supervising interns and those working on licensure.

My treatment approach tends to be cognitive behavioral in nature, but I like to tailor my approach to an individual's goals and particular needs. What that means is that I like to collaborate with a client to find active steps to take to better one's quality of life. It is solution-focused, and brief in nature. I believe that self-care and mindfulness are essential tools for quality of life, yet we aren't always taught how to do that for ourselves. My clients say that I am direct, yet compassionate, and that they feel validated and empowered to make needed changes in their lives.

Heidi has been amazing- she has given me a lot of helpful tools and techniques to help me through my emotions and struggles. I've already recommended BetterHelp and Heidi, and this friend told me just yesterday she was paired with Heidi too and she likes her a lot already. I am very thankful!
