The most important piece to having a successful therapeutic experience is the therapeutic alliance.

Hello, I’m Heather If you are seeking support from a therapist, you are in the right place.

Together we can find new approaches to positively and directly impact the outcomes you seek.

With over 30 years clinical experience and training at Harvard, Princeton and University of Chicago, I treat individuals and families, ranging in age from pre-teens to adults.

I treat children and adolescents with various struggles, and support those with neurodiversity. Some examples include ADHD, Autism, depression, and anxiety (including selective mutism).

If issues are present in school, I like to incorporate check-ins, consultations, or direct interventions if needed.
