Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I believe a listening ear and a non-judgmental approach goes a long way in helping individuals find their way back to their best selves. I work with young adults, couples (in-person only) and individuals who are facing life transitions and relationship conflict to move through their current stress into more helpful functioning. I have experience working with those who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues. Working from a humanistic perspective I strive to provide a safe and inclusive space for exploring any difficulties you may be facing within yourself or your relationships.
In our first session we'll explore some personal history and current struggles that bring you into to see me. I'll invite you to discuss your ideal experience of therapy which will help me better formulate a treatment plan and have an idea of the focus of follow up sessions.
With a heartfelt belief that every human is worthy and valuable I really strive to find ways to help clients recognize this in themselves. Methods of reframing, building awareness and skill implementation all aid in moving individuals into an improved view of themselves and their capabilities.
I love working with individuals who are finding themselves facing transitions, big life changes or questions. Whether it be relationship, school or work focused, my clients often desire to understand themselves and their place in the world better. Together we work towards implementing helpful coping skills and healthy thinking patterns.
I identify as
Humanistic
By focusing on an individual's potential for growth and self discovery I encourage clients to explore their desired outcome from therapy and collaboratively work towards implementing needed awareness and change to bring desires to reality.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Leaning heavily on psychoeducation and helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, actions and feelings we work towards implementing practical ways to bring about positive change in functioning.
Positive Psychology
I am a strong believer in the value of humans and the innate worth we all carry. I believe that working from a perspective of capability and well-intentioned desire allows us to uncover areas needing additional support and perspective to bring about healthier functioning.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I have worked with individuals with complex trauma and have been formally trained in the steps of TF-CBT. Supporting individuals to better understand the impact of trauma on thought processes and actions can alleviate trauma symptoms and support more emotion regulation.

It has been very helpful for me working with Heather. She has helped me understand my feelings and what could be going on at a deeper level. This has been empowering for me and it also helps that she is able to guide me and create ways I can work with these things and apply to my life and relationships. She makes me feel heard, understood, and that I am making progress, not just venting about things. She cares about clients and wants to help them through whatever it is they are dealing with.

I went looking for help with anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. I felt Heather took the time to listen to me, get to know me and what I was going through. She offered solutions for us to work on that fit my personality and would allow me to work with that to support myself. I was very comfortable and peaceful with her and in her space. I really liked that she seemed less like a therapist trying to fix something, and more like a person who wanted to offer support for me to continue helping myself.
