Hi there, I'm Heather!

I'm an LMHC, and I specialize in trauma-informed care using evidence-based approaches like CBT. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My goal is to help you build insight, develop tools, and feel more aligned in your life.

My focus

I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I provide a supportive, trauma-informed space to help you build coping skills, gain insight, and feel more grounded, connected, and aligned in your life.

My approach

Working with me feels supportive, steady, and collaborative. I create a space where you can show up as you are, without pressure or judgment, while we gently explore what’s been weighing on you. Using a trauma-informed approach and evidence-based tools like CBT, I help you understand patterns, regulate emotions, and develop skills.

My communication style

My style is calm, nonjudgmental, and relational. I focus on building trust so you feel safe to open up at your own pace, while we work together to explore your experiences and move toward meaningful change.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist is both professional and personal. There was a time in my own life when I felt weighed down by past experiences, and through therapy, I experienced the power of healing and growth. That transformation inspired me to dedicate my life’s work to helping others feel supported, understood, and able to heal.

My goals for you

I help clients identify what they want to change and why it matters to them, then guide them in creating small, achievable steps toward those goals. Through a combination of insight, skill-building, and ongoing support, I help you build confidence and create lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a comfortable, supportive connection. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you in, your history, and what you’re hoping to gain from therapy, while also giving you space to share at your own pace. We’ll start identifying goals and next steps together.
