I believe that even in the middle of a crisis, there is a real opportunity for growth. My path began in the theater and the study of Method Acting. This discipline focuses on how internal experience drives outward behavior. I apply this "inside-out" perspective to help you align your internal reality with your external actions. My way of working has evolved over time. I attended top universities and training programs. I was mentored by experts in the origins of trauma, addictions, and relationship difficulties. This foundation allowed me to build a successful group practice in Orange County. During that time, I taught at UC Irvine, chaired the Professional Practice Committee of the Orange County Psychological Association, and sat on its Board of Directors. In the midst of this success, I experienced a personal crisis and divorce. This led me on my own journey of growth. I began an extensive study of Buddhism and meditation which now guides how I live. I spent seven years living in Asia, where I studied with monks and cared for villagers. What I offer now is an integration of strong academic training and Eastern teachings. My decision to become a psychologist grew from a desire to relieve suffering and transform challenges into opportunities for growth. I combine empirical psychological methods with the cultivation of an "awakened heart"—a state of genuine presence and social connection. I work to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be

I am a warm, collaborative therapist who is passionate about helping people feel more understood, supported, and empowered in their lives. I work with clients to navigate stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm by combining evidence-based approaches with a compassionate, personalized style. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences openly, gain insight into patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical tools to support lasting change and emotional resilience. I integrate approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused strategies to help clients build self-awareness, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and move toward meaningful, achievable goals. I value collaboration and meet clients where they are, recognizing that therapy is not one-size-fits-all and that each person’s journey is unique. I also have a strong interest in working with athletes, particularly those navigating major transitions such as career-ending injuries. I understand how deeply identity, purpose, and emotional well-being can be impacted when an athletic career changes or comes to an unexpected end. I support athletes in processing grief, rebuilding confidence, redefining identity beyond sport, and creating a renewed sense of direction and fulfillment. My approach emphasizes resilience, self-compassion, and helping clients reconnect with their strengths as they move forward into the next chapter of their lives.

I am currently a marriage and family therapist licensed in the state of California. As a clinician I have 6+ years’ experience working in residential care as well as community mental health treating children, adolescents, and adults who suffer from various challenges and diagnosis. I have also now worked remotely for 4+ years providing individual therapy to all ages and populations. In treatment, I believe that each and every person has the power and the courage to face their trauma and find fulfillment and joy in their lives. I view trauma as the root cause for the majority of mental health problems and diagnoses. I believe that treating trauma is the foundation for each client to heal and find wellness in their lives. In the therapeutic process I believe the therapist and client should work together collaboratively to establish wellness goals and a plan to reach those goals. I have been trained in multiple trauma therapy modalities including EMDR, TF-CBT, EFT(emotional freedom technique), and mindfulness. I have used each of these techniques in treatment to process traumatic memories and heal trauma associated symptoms. I have also utilized EMDR to manage chronic pain and sensory issues. Outside of trauma therapy I have treated and managed individuals challenged with ADHD, Autism, and Learning disabilities. I have been trained in ABA and Pivotal Response when working with youth and adolescents with these diagnoses.

She may be successful on paper yet struggling to maintain boundaries, meet others’ expectations, or feel truly connected to herself.

I’m a therapist who primarily works with men dealing with relationship struggles, trauma, and anxiety that’s started to affect work, family, and daily life. I’ve worked in a men’s trauma center as well as in private practice, so I’m very comfortable sitting with the heavier stuff that most guys have learned to keep to themselves. My style is direct, non‑judgmental, and very relational, think real conversation, honest feedback, and a focus on what actually helps you feel and live better, not just “talking about your feelings” for an hour.

Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, self-defeating behaviors, relationship issues, cycles of anxiety and depression, or maybe you desire a deeper understanding of your life experience, I am committed to seeing you find relief. I've been a therapist for over 20 years working with a wide range of concerns and backgrounds. My aim is to help you feel more settled within yourself, develop more fulfilling and satisfying relationships, and create purpose and meaning in your life. Through our time together, it's my sincere hope you will begin to experience the joy and satisfaction that you seek in your life. My practice is rooted in a Psychodynamic, depth-oriented approach, which means we don't just look at your current symptoms—we look at the 'why' behind them. By exploring your early life experiences and unconscious patterns, we can understand how your past continues to shape your present feelings and relationships. To support this deep exploration, I integrate specific tools tailored to your needs: Internal Family Systems (IFS): We identify the different 'parts' of your personality—like the inner critic or the people-pleaser—to help you move from self-judgment to self-curiosity. Experiential Therapies: Instead of just talking about your feelings, we work with them as they arise in the moment. This helps you move from "knowing" something intellectually to actually "shifting" it emotionally. CBT: I provide practical, real-time strategies to help you shift unhelpful thought patterns in your daily life. EMDR: For those 'stuck' memories or traumas, we use bilateral stimulation to take the painful sting out of the past so it no longer triggers you today. I work with adult individual adult men and women along with those in the LGBTQ community.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of professional experience. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders and a wide range of adult mental health concerns. I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and experiences of abuse, as well as challenges related to self-esteem, motivation, and self-worth. I support clients who are coping with major life transitions, caregiver stress, illness, disability, workplace challenges, and communication difficulties in relationships. I also help individuals work through feelings of guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, midlife concerns, forgiveness, self-love, and women’s issues. Using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, I help clients better understand their emotional patterns, develop healthy coping strategies, and build resilience. My approach is compassionate and individualized, and I strive to create a supportive space where adults can heal, grow, and move toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

Hello, I'm Heather, a seasoned counselor dedicated to providing compassionate support to individuals navigating life's challenges. With over 20 years of experience in Social Work and Counseling, including service as a Navy Veteran, I bring a wealth of expertise and understanding to my practice. As an Author, I've authored books aimed at simplifying complex medical and mental health issues, such as Hospice, Home Health, and Palliative Care. My commitment to enhancing accessibility and understanding in these areas underscores my passion for empowering individuals to take charge of their well-being. In my counseling approach, I prioritize active listening and client-centered care. Your growth and goals are at the forefront of our sessions, as I work collaboratively with you to navigate the path toward healing and personal fulfillment. In addition to individual counseling, I specialize in couples therapy, helping partners navigate complex issues like communication breakdowns, conflict resolution, and rebuilding trust. Through tailored interventions and empathetic support, I assist couples in cultivating deeper understanding, connection, and resilience within their relationships. I also offer individual counseling for personal growth, healing, and support, providing a safe and nurturing space for clients to explore their innermost thoughts and emotions on their journey towards greater well-being and fulfillment. Insight and progress can often be achieved in just one session, though the benefits of ongoing therapy are profound. Whether you're stepping into counseling for the first time or continuing your therapeutic journey, my objective remains the same: to provide you with the compassionate support and guidance you deserve. Your willingness to engage in therapy is deeply appreciated, and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in California. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Anger Management?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Anger Management, is filtering therapists in California that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
