Hi, my name is Heather. Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed, and unable to focus due to life transitions or constant demands? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, school, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself and set healthy boundaries? I help adolescents and adults manage anxiety and depression and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We will collaborate and use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, yoga and nature therapy to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself and those around you. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but we all need extra support sometimes. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow, and I would be honored to come alongside you in your journey. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together! *** I will be accepting new referrals again in August!***
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone call to see if working together is a good fit. If so, we will schedule an initial intake session and form a client-centered treatment plan to focus our work together on goals that you identify. We will utilize this treatment plan to guide and inform our sessions while also allowing space and time to adapt as needed. Sessions are conducted virtually and last around 50 minutes. I also offer walk-and-talk therapy for people in the greater LA region once we have established a therapeutic relationship.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize an eclectic mix of CBT, mindfulness, humanistic psychology and motivational interviewing and focus on the mind-body connection. I am passionate about the importance of nature and offer walk-and-talk sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I value and celebrate diversity and feel honored to work with clients of all backgrounds and identities. I have lived in five major US cities and know first-hand the demands of living in fast-paced and demanding environments. I offer an empathic approach and help my clients learn to cope with things they cannot change and work towards developing healthier coping skills and habits to thrive.
