Hi, I’m Heather—and if you’ve been holding it all together for everyone else, I want you to know: I see you. Many of my clients are the dependable ones, the strong ones, the ones pushing through medical issues, grief, anxiety, or invisible burnout. You might look “fine” on paper, but feel totally overwhelmed. I offer psychiatric care that’s thoughtful, trauma-informed, and unafraid to sit with complexity. Whether you’re managing a chronic illness, facing a major life shift, or just want support that meets you where you really are—we can start there.
I offer psychiatric evaluations, trauma-informed medication management, and collaborative treatment planning. My specialties include mood disorders, chronic illness, anxiety, grief, ADHD, and hematology/oncology treatment-related mental health. I’m part of Forest Path Psychiatry—an inclusive group practice proudly serving LGBTQIA2+, BIPOC, and allies.
Ever felt dismissed by healthcare providers? I offer something different: a grounded, collaborative space where you can feel like yourself again. We'll work together—you bring presence to your needs, and I'll provide clinical expertise, warmth, and humor—because healing should feel human. Let's reconnect you with what matters most.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, previous or current cancer treatment, and mental health challenges tied to chronic illness. Treatment is personalized, often blending medication support with emotional processing and behavioral tools. Clients often find relief, perspective, and a renewed sense of self.

Heather's background treating sickle cell disease gives her unique insight into chronic pain's psychological impact. She understands how living with pain affects mental health in ways most psychiatric providers miss. Her dual perspective is invaluable
