Heather has a long history of working with trauma and abuse issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, career transitions, intimacy concerns, and sleep problems. Her experience includes adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and family of origin difficulties.

In the room she listens for what matters most and adapts plans to each person’s life. Heather emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical problem solving. She describes starting therapy as a courageous step and aims to be a steady support while people work toward change.

Many clients benefit from a mix of short-term skills and longer-term reflection. Heather blends hands-on techniques with attention to attachment and meaning. The result is a tailored plan that reflects each client’s goals and challenges.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Heather often blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening, understanding each person’s goals, and shaping sessions around what the person brings. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce distress and manage anger or anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to try and when to change course.

Check the current session options before booking to confirm how Heather meets online. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and let people meet from quieter locations or a work break. It can also support shorter check-ins or focused skill practice between in-person meetings when that is helpful. Ask about specific formats when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
