About Heather
She uses straightforward conversations to uncover what matters most to each person. Sessions tend to focus on concrete goals, coping tools, and skills that reduce overwhelm. Heather pays attention to how habits, thoughts, and relationships affect mood and choices.
Over three decades she has supported people facing anger, low self-esteem, and feelings of emptiness. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, communication struggles, codependency, and problems tied to divorce or separation. That background informs how she tailors sessions to each individual.
Her style blends client-centered listening with practical therapies that teach new ways of responding. People who choose her often want clear strategies they can use between sessions as they work through midlife questions and other transitions.

How her approaches guide online therapy choices
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they feel heard and clearer about their next steps. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort out midlife questions, relationship stress, or identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and behavior changes tied to substance use or impulsivity.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is often chosen when anger, emotion swings, or difficulty tolerating stress are central concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That planning can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions to best match your schedule and goals.
