LCSW, 20 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Do you find yourself feeling irritable or moody? Do you feel overwhelmed with daily expectations and responsibilities? These feelings can be a sign of depression and/or anxiety. I can help you through these difficult emotions. Together we can help you gain self-confidence and improve your life. Often it is difficult to know where to start. I teach strategies to help manage your symptoms. I have experience helping clients build and maintain relationships, with those struggling to find purpose or meaning in their life, with grief, and trauma. Additionally, if you are struggling with infertility, miscarriage or loss, or postpartum depression this is my niche. I have over 20 years of experience with child welfare, healthcare, maternal child health, postpartum, antepartum, neonatal, addiction medicine, and school/behavioral issues. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space with use of respect, compassion, empathy, hope, and a bit of humor.
The first session will be information gathering and discussing confidentiality and expectations. I will ask questions about your past, including any traumas which can be difficult to discuss but important. I want to understand the reason that you are seeking therapy and your overall goals to best help you meet these. We will explore your symptoms, duration, family health history, and medications. I like to give my client's the platform to share conversationally their story and I try to avoid formal questions and answer.
I utilize the following therapeutic approaches. -Cognitive Behavior Therapy -Dialectical Behavior therapy -Mindfulness -Client Centered -Narrative Therapy
I am most comfortable helping clients identify their own inner strengths to manage anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, pregnancy, and loss. I have significant experience helping others adjust to major life changes such as new medical diagnosis, divorce, retirement, empty nest, birth, adoption, grief, and trauma. I enjoy helping others challenge mal-adaptive thought processes, adjust expectation, and make allowances for faults, through developing understanding and compassion.
I love to work with client's who are motivated to make change and willing to learn and practice coping skills outside of our sessions. I have worked with all age groups but my specialty is with adults, seniors, young adult, pregnant, parents, and those struggling with infertility.

Heidi has a very calm, kind, pleasant and warm demeanor, which I really appreciate. She's great at keeping track of the details of my rather chaotic life and consistently remembers to follow up about things we have addressed even if I don't. She is solution oriented, easy to talk with, and challenges my thinking without ever making me feel judged. I feel totally comfortable sharing difficult and personal issues that I usually keep private with her, whether its work stress, managing ADHD or famil
