Great to meet you!

Welcome! I’m Heather, a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved clinical supervisor, and I’m dedicated to providing thoughtful, client-centered care and professional guidance. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in an overthinking spiral, you’re not alone. Many teens and young adults feel pressure to keep up with school, work, relationships, and expectations, while quietly struggling with motivation, confidence, and emotional exhaustion. I enjoy working with Gen Z clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and stress related to school or life transitions. My style is highly relational and collaborative, offering a supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all in therapy.

My approach to therapy

Stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm don’t just affect your thoughts, they often show up in your body too, like tension, fatigue, racing thoughts, or feeling disconnected or stuck. Together, we’ll help your nervous system feel safer and calmer so you can move out of survival mode and handle life with more ease. When you're ready, I'm here to support you.

Additionally, I'm passionate about supporting individuals and their families affected by disabilities or rare diagnoses. Outside of work, I dedicate time to raising awareness and advocating for disabilities, rare disorders, neurodiversity, and inclusivity, while also helping others navigate community resources and access the additional support they may need. I look forward to working with you!
