She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, facing life changes, or struggling with parenting concerns. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at making small, useful changes that fit daily life.

Background and approach
Heather has worked in many settings, including independent practice, hospitals, hospice, home health, chronic pain programs, and adoption services. That variety shaped her ability to help people through loss, trauma, caregiver strain, and chronic illness. She pairs life experience with clinical skills when addressing complex situations.
Her training began with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington, and she also studied biology and psychophysiology. This background informs a practical, body-and-mind aware approach to therapy. Outside work she has lived in Colorado for over 20 years and likes hiking, camping, swimming, boating, gardening, and reading.
She values straightforward, compassionate help and aims to work with each person to find what fits their life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore concerns and find their own solutions; it often helps with stress, grief, and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, mood, and sleep issues.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and recommend methods to try. Sessions may combine techniques over time so the work matches what you need in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting and other demands.
