Hi, I'm Heather! I have been a licensed mental health specialist for a few years now, but I have been doing counseling in hospital and end of life setting for more than ten years. I spent my first career as a chaplain, where I enjoyed working with people from all and no religious background tap into their innate strength in times of crisis. I am committed to helping people with a background of religious trauma and am a committed ally in working with LGBTQIA+ clients. As a therapist I believe I can help you on your path of self discovery and growing in the strengths you already have. I am all about self care and believe that therapy can be an essential component of everyone's self care repertoire.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, we'll start by getting to know each other. I'll ask you about your background, current challenges, and what has brought you to therapy. This is a safe and open space where you can share your story, express your thoughts and feelings, and begin to explore what you hope to achieve through our work together. Our focus will be on understanding your unique needs, strengths, and goals. We'll discuss what has worked for you in the past and identify areas where you might need more support. I believe in a collaborative approach, so your input is crucial in shaping our sessions and the direction of your treatment. Together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific situation. This plan will outline your goals, the therapeutic methods we use, and the steps we can take to help you reach your desired outcomes. We'll also discuss any questions or concerns you have about the therapy process, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed. Throughout our work together, I will encourage open dialogue and feedback. Your insights and experiences are valuable in making sure the therapy is effective and meaningful for you. Our partnership is based on mutual respect and a shared commitment to your growth and well-being. I look forward to supporting you on this transformative journey.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a thoughtful therapist with a background in spiritual and existential issues, my greatest strength is my ability to guide clients through their inner landscapes with depth and compassion. I offer a unique blend of emotional support and existential insight, helping clients to explore not just their immediate concerns but also the deeper questions and values that shape their lives.
