Great to meet you!

Welcome! My name is Heather and I help adults move through painful life experiences, difficult relationships, stress, and worry so they can feel more grounded and empowered to create the life they want to lead. I believe in the power of human relationships and think that our opportunities to be radically authentic are often limited in our day to day life, so my goal as a therapist is to provide this space where you can be unapologetically yourself. This grounds me in sessions and allows me to bring a compassionate and accepting presence.

I balance this with techniques and modalities that have been shown to help people. In sessions I am often using a blend of therapeutic techniques.

I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Master's in Social Work. I have been working as a therapist for 9 years and love what I do!

My focus areas include stress, anxiety, trauma, and family issues. I work with adults 18+.

My approach to therapy

I often blend Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness based strategies, but my main priority will also be to help you feel connected and supported. I also use EMDR to help clients heal from previous trauma or unhelpful thought patterns.

What you can expect from me

Clients often tell me they feel seen and validated by my warm presence and open minded approach to therapy. After working with me, my clients often feel more resilient and grounded with a greater awareness of their thoughts and feelings and are able to move past difficult beliefs and experiences that have been holding them back.
