Great to meet you!

HI my name is Heather. I am a licensed clinical social worker and clinical substance abuse counselor. I work with ages 14 and older, specializing in trauma informed care and substance abuse. I graduated from UW Milwaukee with my Masters in social work and a certificate in youth oriented substance abuse and trauma informed care. I look forward to getting to know and work with you.

My approach to therapy

I like to take a person centered approach to helping clients meet their therapy goals and individual needs

What you can expect from me
