She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, and problems with motivation. Heather aims to make the first step feel less daunting by offering steady support and a calm, nonjudgmental presence.

Background and approach
Heather offers shorter or mid-length appointments to fit different needs and schedules. Her approach mixes client-centered listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. For people coping with trauma or abuse, she draws on trauma-focused methods to help process hard experiences at a pace that feels manageable.
Heather also helps with relationship and family-related struggles, grief, parenting stress, and substance concerns. She pays attention to attachment, adoption and foster care issues, body image, and blended family dynamics when those topics matter to a client. Session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what works best.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Heather uses client-centered therapy to create a listening environment where the client guides the topics and pace. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard first and then build on their own strengths.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and for building concrete coping tools to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods that match those needs. That plan can change over time as progress and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging supports ongoing questions, quick check-ins, and continuing motivation between appointments.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to keep momentum between sessions while working through stress, trauma, relationship concerns, or behavior changes.
