More about Heather
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW-C
As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship dynamics. I have a deep commitment to supporting women, young adults, and individuals experiencing significant life transitions.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion and understanding, with a particular focus on helping clients rediscover self-love, overcome isolation, and reconnect with their sense of purpose. I offer specialized support for those experiencing posttraumatic stress, caregiver burnout, mood disorders, and the unique challenges of sexual assault survivors.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I create a nurturing environment where clients can explore their emotional experiences, develop resilient coping strategies, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My goal is to empower individuals to transform their struggles into opportunities for healing and self-discovery.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
