About

Hello, I'm Heather, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 7 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with clients facing a variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral concerns, and ADHD. My counseling style is best described as warm and passionate, and I pride myself on being patient, a good listener, knowledgeable, and empathetic. I believe in providing unconditional positive regard and high-fidelity services to all my clients. In our sessions, I combine various therapeutic approaches such as cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, interpersonal, group, and cognitive therapy to tailor the experience to your unique needs. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. I understand that reaching out for help can be a big step, and I'm here to walk alongside you on this path. Together, we can work towards finding solutions and strategies that empower you to lead a more fulfilling life. If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out and start this journey with me. Specialties: I work with individuals to overcome everyday and complex challenges. In our initial sessions, we'll explore your concerns in depth and collaboratively develop a personalized plan to help you move forward. Credentials & Experience: I'm a licensed provider with experience in a variety of specialties and modalities. Together, we'll create a care plan tailored specifically to your needs.
