My professional experience working within counseling has allowed me to become skilled and comfortable in delivering solution focused therapy. My theoretical orientation aligns with Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, however, I hold a strong belief that a counselor should possess technical eclecticism and be comfortable and well-versed in many theoretical orientations and interventions in an effort to accommodate the varying and diverse individual needs of clients. With that goal in mind, I continue to stay immersed in other styles such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy, to name a few, while also maintaining a Humanistic approach at the core of my counseling approach. When working with couples and families, I utilize Family Systems Therapy, Structural Therapy, Strategic Therapy and Transgenerational Therapy approaches as treatment modalities. I am also Gottman Level I certified and enjoy utilizing the Gottman Approach when working with couples.
In your first session we will talk about your concerns and background information and get to know one another to determine a good fit as well as build rapport for a strong mutual working relationship.
My greatest strengths as a provider are that I aim to always meet you where you are at. I am warm and encouraging, and will work as your biggest cheerleader to get you where you want to be.
The clients I serve are seeking an improvement in their way of living and believe that change can happen, they just need a little help to get there.
REBT is my natural style as I am grounded in real world thoughts and views and encourage clients to express their truth.
I am trained in EMDR and utilize this approach by request to work through trauma.
CBT is a well versed modality I utilize to combat negative and intrusive thoughts.
I am Gottman Certified and use this modality when working with couples.

I'll admit that I really didn't want to do therapy to work on my marriage. My husband and I began seeing Heather during a particularly challenging time in our relationship. From the very first session, we felt heard, respected, and supported. She created a safe, nonjudgmental space where both of us could speak openly and work through our issues. What stood out most was her solution-focused dialogue and how authentic she was. Looking forward to our next session.

I think Heather does a great job being welcoming and understanding while also pushing me to call out my own fallacies and work towards correcting them. I've made a lot of progress in just the couple months I've been working with her, and I am very grateful that her style connects with me so well.

She is extremely well rounded and I feel like I can trust her with the most intimate details of my life, which I haven't had in other therapist.
