Heather's Story
Before becoming a therapist, I served as a paramedic, firefighter, and emergency nurse. These experieces shaped my passion for helping others and gave me a unique understanding of the challenges faced by first responders, healthcare professionals, caregivers, and their families. I am especially committed to supporting those who serve others, as well as the family members who navigate the stress and demands of these roles alongside them.
My practice is not limited to first responders or trauma. I work with individuals, families, children, and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, relationship difficulties, family conflict, major life transitions, stress, low self-esteem, and the effects of difficult or overwhelming experiences. Whether you are feeling stuck, worried about your child, struggling within your family, or looking for additional support, you do not have to navigate it alone.
My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and tailored to each client's needs. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, solution-focused techniques, play-based interventions and other developmentally appropriate interventions. Together, we can identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen communication, build practical coping skills, recognize existing strengths, and create realistic steps towards meaningful change.
I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and free of judgement. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you feel heard and understood, and support you or your family in moving toward greater confidence, connection, healing, and well-being.
Heather offers clients an income-based, sliding fee scale starting at $75.00 and does not accept insurance. She is available for in person sessions and Telehealth.
