More about Heidi

28 years' experience
Female
LCSW

I'm a therapist with extensive life experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over my career, I've worked with clients across the lifespan, helping them navigate depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and mood disorders with compassion and skill.

My approach is with a deep commitment to meeting you where you are. I specialize in working with trauma, attachment issues, self-harm, panic disorder, and social anxiety. I also have meaningful experience supporting older adults, individuals managing chronic pain and illness, caregivers facing burnout, and first responders processing work-related stress.

I'm particularly drawn to helping clients explore isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, guilt and shame, and family dynamics. I work with diverse populations, including those navigating autism spectrum experiences, personality disorders, codependency, and the complexities of women's issues and aging.

My style is direct, honest, and sometimes with humor. I believe in creating a space where you feel heard and supported as you work toward meaningful change.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
