About Heather

Her work centers on understanding each person's story and practical problems. She uses client-centered methods to listen and build goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are among the approaches she uses to address mood, worry, and coping skills.
How Heather works
Heather has particular experience with trauma, grief, addictions, and issues that affect sleep and eating. She also supports people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness, or changes related to aging. Additional focus areas include communication difficulties, guilt and shame, and adjustment after brain injury or armed forces experiences.
Sessions tend to focus on clear skills and small, achievable steps. Heather blends structured tools with open conversation so clients can try strategies between sessions and report back. Motivational Interviewing and narrative-informed techniques are used when clients want to explore values or change ambivalence.
She offers work that is practical and paced to each person's needs. English-language services are provided, and international clients are accepted. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire to match and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals together, helping people feel heard and involved in setting the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies together and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face when scheduling allows, phone can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while using the selected therapeutic approaches.
