I am licensed in California with 18 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & anger management. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My theoretical orientation can be described as eclectic, using techniques from various models of therapy as deemed appropriate with the current treatment and client. I utilize most from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as I assist clients in exploring and expressing thoughts, feelings/emotions, and behaviors in an attempt to identify maladaptive patterns contributing to distress. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Heather has helped me in many ways! I was grieving the loss of my best friend, but also had other items that surfaced that we addressed that helped me immensely!! She is wonderful and responsive and understanding and compassionate. I recommend her to anyone who asks me about this service.

I have just recently started my journey here, but after two sessions and a lot of messaging with Heather, I am confident in her ability to help me reach my goals. She has already helped me identify some pretty major things that I know will make this journey a success for me.
