More about Heidi
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a trauma-informed therapist who works with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and other emotional and behavioral challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe, supportive space where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered.
I have experience working with individuals and families involved with foster care and the child welfare system, including collaboration with Child Protective Services, Tribal Social Services, and Adoptive and Foster Families. I understand the unique challenges that can accompany placement changes, family separation, attachment disruptions, grief and complex trauma.
I strive to meet each individual where they are, building trust at their pace while using trauma-informed approaches. My goal is to help individuals develop healthy coping skills, strengthen relationships, process difficult experiences, and build greater confidence and emotional resilience.

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.
