"Little by little, a little becomes a lot" - unknown Making the decision to come to therapy is the first step to beginning your personal journey. As your therapist, I am passionate about assisting you in addressing your needs and in overcoming the barriers you face. I love integrating different interventions to meet your needs best. I believe in tailoring each session to each person regardless if you are struggling through a new life transition, working through painful experiences, or attempting to regain your life back from symptoms of depression and anxiety. My hope is that our sessions together will bring insight, stability and peace within your relationships and life.

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

Sessions with me are person-centered. This is your time and it is open to discuss everything on your mind. It is important to me that you feel safe enough to be vulnerable and honest throughout treatment. I do my best to make sure that I am easily accessible to all my clients and provide flexibility throughout treatment to ensure effective communication and consistency.

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

My experience working in addiction and in mental health treatment centers has allowed me the opportunity a broad range of situations and intensity. This includes depression, anxiety, addiction, life changes, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, trauma. Heather K. leads our reception team.
