I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 20 years of counseling in various settings. I have worked with troubled teens and their parents, individuals, families and couples. Although, I have been counseling professionally since my undergrad in 1990, I started counseling from the kindergarten playground, always desiring to assist with finding solutions to life's woes. Some of the areas of concern that I have addressed include depression, HIV/AIDS, adolescent concerns, anger, anxiety, family conflict, loss, blended families and many other areas of concern that affect families. My counseling style is very welcoming and interactive. I believe in empowering the client and not making them feel judged. I remind myself that when working with a client I may be the only person in their life capable of both hearing and holding their pain, I don't take that for granted. I look forward to working with you!

Hi, I'm Heather, pronouns she/they! I'm an LCSW and I have 10+ years of experience providing therapy to people who are feeling stuck, unheard, and/or trapped within our system of social norms and unrealistic expectations. I love helping clients get to those "ah ha" moments that unlock the gates to progress and healing. I practice a multitude of evidence based modalities and tailor them to my clients' specific needs. Nothing cookie-cutter, over here. I tend to be solution focused, client centered, and strengths based within my practice. Most of my experience comes from working with those who have experienced significant complex trauma. I believe everyone deserves a therapist that will listen to them entirely and completely free of judgment. I identify as queer (non-binary, poly, pan) and have worked with clients in all stages of recognizing their queerness. I also have experience working with those who have experienced religious trauma whether due to their sexuality or otherwise. If you're looking for a therapist who's laid back, nerdy, uses humor but will also challenge you to make the changes you've come to make; then I'm the therapist for you!

I believe everyone is entitled to a happy and healthy life. At times, there are things that stand in the way of achieving that goal. Therapy is an essential tool in addressing any number of topics that can cause distress such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, and trauma. I believe that working together, we can identify problems, create solutions, and map out a more meaningful existence. I work with clients to manage symptoms and address core issues. I have work in the fields of substance abuse, trauma, and anxiety/depression. A client can expect a present, warm, caring, and educated therapist in our sessions. By coming to the table with your unique life experiences and struggles and with my professional experience and training, we can create the life that you envision.

I also facilitate groups in various substance use sites, and I facilitate (volunteer) a free counseling group for my church - from 2020 to present.
