How Heather works
She blends conversation, skill practice, and gentle guidance so people leave with tools they can use between sessions. Her background includes work in independent practice, hospital and hospice settings, home health, chronic pain programs, and adoption services. That varied experience shaped a flexible approach that adapts to different problems and life stages.
Heather trained at the University of Texas at Arlington where she earned both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work. She draws on client-centered approaches alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based methods. Hypnotherapy and emotionally focused ideas also appear when they fit a person's goals.
Heather combines empathy with clear thinking to help people set realistic targets and try new ways of coping. Living in Colorado for more than two decades, Heather enjoys hiking, camping, gardening, and time with animals. She aims to make therapy feel like a steady place to think, plan, and heal.

How Heather’s Approaches Translate Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop new habits for sleep, mood, or coping with stress.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person’s goals guide the work. This approach supports self-understanding and helps clarify what changes matter most.
Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. Heather will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for deeper discussion and visual cues, phone can be a simpler check-in, and chat or text works well for brief updates or when someone needs flexible communication. These formats make it easier to keep regular contact, practice new skills between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy life.
