Hi, I’m Heather! Sometimes we know exactly what is bothering us, and other times we just know we don’t feel like ourselves. You may be feeling overwhelmed, caught up in overthinking, struggling in your relationships, or ready for something to change without knowing where to start. You don’t need to have it all figured out before we begin.
My style is warm, conversational, and collaborative. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself, asking questions, and talking about things you might usually keep to yourself. I offer support, honest feedback, and practical tools tailored to what you need.
Together, we can explore patterns that leave you feeling stuck and work on ways to manage emotions, strengthen relationships, set boundaries, and feel more confident in your decisions. I believe therapy should help you feel heard while giving you skills you can use in everyday life.
We’ll work at a pace that feels comfortable for you, with room to reflect, build on your strengths, and take manageable steps toward the changes that matter to you. I look forward to getting to know you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
