She brings 27 years of counseling experience and offers a calm, straightforward style that helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or parenting concerns.

Heidi uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals and values front and center.
How Heidi works
She often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and motivational interviewing techniques when they fit the person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals.
Heidi helps people break problems into manageable pieces and practices new skills between sessions. She aims to make therapy understandable and relevant to daily life rather than full of jargon. Her long experience includes work in multiple settings, giving her a broad background with different kinds of struggles.
She offers sessions in weekday evenings and weekends to fit busy schedules. Heidi tailors her pace to each person, moving faster or slower depending on what feels right. People can expect a respectful and down-to-earth conversation that balances insight with practical tools.
The goal is steady progress on stress, relationships, mood, and life transitions so daily routines feel easier to manage.

How different approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals and preferences first and creates a space to talk through what matters most. It helps people shape sessions around their own priorities and move at a comfortable pace.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new ways of coping. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes because it offers clear steps and homework to practice between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Short skills practice and targeted strategies can reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
Choosing the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can combine elements from different methods so the plan stays practical and responsive.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow more personal interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing support between meetings. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions in evenings or weekends and to keep progress steady without long commutes.
