She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, and depression using practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses simple, direct tools to help people cope day to day.
Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new ways of responding. Heather aims to make therapy feel approachable and doable for busy lives. Over three decades she has developed experience with a wide range of related concerns.
How Heather works
These include abandonment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, and challenges around commitment or separation. She also works with issues such as grief, guilt and shame, and problems related to HIV/AIDS and gender dysphoria. Heather draws on client-centered ideas to create an accepting space.
She blends that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox. Her voice in sessions is steady and practical.
She helps people set small goals, try new strategies between meetings, and track what helps. The focus is on real-life change rather than abstract theory. Heather provides care in English and offers a mix of session formats to fit different needs.
People who want straightforward guidance and clear skills for coping often find her approach helpful.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and meeting people where they are. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving stress tolerance, which can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather collaborates with each person to pick or blend methods that fit their goals and daily life. Sessions include checking in, trying skills, and adjusting the plan together based on what helps.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is an issue or a camera is not practical. Live chat and text messaging work for shorter check-ins or when people prefer written communication. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep care consistent over time.
