Heather considers it a privilege to walk alongside those who are hurting or struggling, bringing a wealth of experience to her practice in treating a diverse range of mental health challenges.

Heather's expertise spans a wide spectrum of psychological issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, grief, divorce recovery, codependency, and relationship issues.

In addition to EMDR, Heather employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her practice.

Her professional experience is diverse, encompassing work at two non-profit counseling centers, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and in private practice. This varied experience has equipped her with a broad understanding of mental health care across different settings and populations.

At this time, Heather focuses on providing individual therapy for adults. She offers a safe, confidential space where clients can explore their challenges and work towards healing and growth. For those who desire it, Christian counseling is also available, allowing Heather to integrate faith-based perspectives into the therapeutic process when appropriate. Heather's approach is tailored to each individual's needs, ensuring that every client receives personalized care that respects their unique experiences and goals.
