About me

As an experienced therapist, I have worked with a great many individuals and families who are going through difficult times. I appreciate the energy it takes to confront issues that feel overwhelming without clear solutions. I understand the unique challenges that face teenagers and parents alike. I take my role seriously in facilitating better understanding, communication, and healing. I provide strategies throughout the therapeutic process that will increase compassion, decrease stress, and move all involved towards a more satisfying outcome. I am authentic, non-judgmental, and direct in my approach. If you are feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or have tried to make things better without lasting success, I can help.
I specialize in the lasting effects of trauma, the negative impacts of unhealthy communication styles, the harmful consequences of substance use, and challenges associated with change.
My clinical specialties include treating victims of violent and sexual crimes, adult survivors of early childhood traumas, teen challenges, and substance use specific treatment and recovery. I value and respect diversity and consider myself an LGBTQIA ally. I look forward to hearing from you.

Heidi has built trust and connects with my son, getting him to verbalize his struggles and understand his condition.

Written on Sep 19, 2021 after therapy with Heidi for 6 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and anger management

Heidi is an amazing therapist. We hit it off in our first session - I could tell she understood me and my challenges and was committed to helping me where I need it.

Written on Sep 17, 2021 after therapy with Heidi for 10 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and self esteem

Heidi has been such a wonderful support to me over the last 6 months. She is highly empathetic and really understands how our nervous systems can be impacted by trauma and really healed me apply some tools to help in real time situations. I will definitely continue counseling with Heidi in the future. Thank you so much Heidi!

Heidi is hands down the best therapist I have ever worked with (and I'm not new to therapy, so I don't say that lightly). She is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced, she is incredibly open-minded and accepting, and she has the kind of personality that is comforting and easy to talk to. No matter what the topic is, she always knows just how to respond, always asks just the right questions. Her listening skills and attention to detail are above and beyond anyone else I know. I never have to repeat myself and she will even bring up little details of things I told her a long time ago and make a connection with the present in a way I would not have thought of myself. I love how personal her approach feels and how she offers alternative strategies that I can personalise and be creative with. I leave every session feeling very accomplished and like I have a LOT to think about during the next week. I can go on and on, but what it comes down to is this: Heidi is THE BEST. I always feel heard by her, seen for who I really am, and supported in anything I do. Thank you so much, Heidi!

I am so grateful to have Heidi as my counselor. She has not only helped me to tackle my current problems, she is also helping me to be a better, more compassionate, and thoughtful person. I really appreciate Heidi!

One word...wow! I was so incredibly blown away on Heidi's insight within the first 10 minutes of our first session. She is intuitive, genuine, knowledgable, basically everything you could ask for in a counselor. Things were beginning to feel hopeless and I knew I had to do something. I'm so glad I tried online counseling and I'm so grateful to have had Heidi assigned to me. I feel like I can take anything that life wants to throw at me because I know she's in my corner. Thank you so much Hiedi, you are amazing!

Best of the best.

Written on Mar 27, 2020 after therapy with Heidi for 4 months on issues concerning depression, family conflicts, grief, self esteem, and anger management

I really love working with Heidi, she directly responds to what I have said and provides information, not always telling me everything, so I can try to put it together on my own a bit (perhaps it's just me reading ahead in my mind). I really, really love it. I accidentally discovered some very interesting things I really didn't understand about myself. Heidi has been one of the best people I've worked with in my life, and I deeply appreciate her time.

I was going through a tough time emotionally after being passed over for promotion I deserved at work. Heidi helped me by providing mindfulness and other excercises and uplifting proverbs. I’m in a better place now since meeting with her weekly.

Heidi is very understanding, kind, easy to speak with, and always provides great help and solutions to my problems. After every session I feel like I've not only learned a lot, but have also felt more peace with myself since day 1.
