More about Heather

We all do the best we can, with what resources are available to us at any given time. A lack of resources or support, can make difficult times all the more challenging. Do you feel alone, overwhelmed, heartbroken, trapped or flawed? Through a supportive therapeutic process, my goal is to help clients discover and build upon their own inner strengths and resources. I know it takes courage to seek services, so I strive to create a nurturing, non-judgmental, honest, and respectful atmosphere. I believe in working together to create individualized solutions to the problems in your life.
I've always been passionate about working with grief/loss/bereavement. I specialize in helping clients work through their grief process and find emotional completion; saying goodbye to any unmet hopes, dreams, and expectations that they wish were different, better, or more. My goal is helping clients live their best life possible.
I pull from a variety of approaches in order to best suit my client's individual needs. I am influenced by client centered, strength-based therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Dialectical (DBT). Over the past two years I have spend most of my time transitioning to more solution focused practices that aim at symptom relief/reduction in dealing with the overwhelming pressures of every day life. Anxiety, depression, high expectations, trying relationships, job pressures, and drug addiction/substance abuse have been areas of focus.
I look forward to providing support with whatever your needs may be.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Heather has been an amazing therapist and A very helpful and understanding person I really enjoy talking to her
She’s a great therapist!
So far, Heather has been very responsive and listens throughly to what is bothering me. She helps me to think through my feelings and face my problems with a clear mind.
Heather has been the best therapist I have had in my entire life. I have been to therapy since I was 10 and I am 21 now and found her this year. When I was in my roughest spot and she is helping me navigate my way through. She listens to everything I have to say even if we go over a few minutes she always makes sure I’m oh a good page before we end our session and I appreciate that. I have weekly appointments and I really appreciate her time and advice it always snakes me feel better after we talk and I actually use her advice in my life.
Just started work it with Heather but so far can say she is a good listener, gives me time to ramble on and is very prompt with replying to messages.
Heather has been an amazing therapist to work with. I feel connected and like she really listens and understands what I’m going through. After my therapy sessions I feel positive and that Heather is next to me in this journey

Heather is an amazing person and has helped me through so much. She understands what I'm going through and is patient with me. God bless her.
She’s awesome!
What an amazing counselor in fact the best counselor I have ever had. she's respectful, she listens, she provides exceptional feedback and I always feel heard and that's important.
Even only having worked with Heather for a couple weeks, she has helped me a ton just building my confidence up to tackle some very serious life changes I am going through. It feels amazing to have her support in this. I would not have gotten through the last two weeks not having had her to talk to.
Heather is a wonderful counselor. She not only listens, but tries to understand parts of my life that seem strange and unusual to my own family, friends, or the general public. I very much appreciate her complete consideration and truth to her choice of words when she explains things that I truly need to hear without candy coated words. After every session, I never feel like I'm in a worse place than I started with. I always feel like I have something to reflect on and receive the reassurance that I am doing something right in my life. Heather is definitely someone I would recommend, even for the most skeptical person.
Heather has helped me stay grounded and alleviate anxiety through some very challenging circumstances. She's empowered me to find balance when I've gone off the rails.
I love how patient and positive she is. She truly listens!
Heather is patient and is my lifeline during this hard time.
She’s very nice and listens to what I have to say. I don’t feel judged at all. I feel supported and like she just wants to help me solve my problems.
Heather is very thoughtful and knowledgeable. She listens well and offers helpful thoughts to help you get to that best step of mental health.
Heather has been amazing though my process! She’s quick, and makes sure I’m doing ok between time in our seasons.
Heather is wonderful and has a way of coaxing the answers out of you and hitting the nail on the head. I'd recommend her to any of my friends.
Heather has been amazing and supportive in helping me work through some things.
