Heather has spent nine years in practice helping clients clarify goals and try new coping strategies.
Her style is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about goals and small experiments between sessions.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Existential therapy helps people name the big questions they face and decide what matters to them. It’s useful when major life changes, identity questions, or a sense of meaninglessness are part of the problem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking actions that match personal values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected while clients find their own answers. It’s helpful for building self-esteem and improving how someone relates to others. Heather treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust plans as needs change. That collaborative work helps people figure out what actually helps them make progress. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and recreate an office-style conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good choice when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer meetings. These options let clients match format to the issue at hand and their daily schedule.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
