Welcome! Life can feel loud, confusing, or overwhelming sometimes — and that’s completely okay. You don’t have to sort through big feelings or tough decisions on your own. Whether you’re figuring out relationships, dealing with school or work stress, navigating family stuff, exploring your gender or sexual identity, or adjusting to major life changes, I’m here to support you in a way that fits you. If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken an important step toward understanding yourself and building the life you want — and that’s something to be proud of. Let’s move forward at your pace, in your way.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, trained in psychodynamic therapy and equipped with tools from CBT, DBT, ACT, MI, and short-term solution-focused approaches to help clients navigate emotional distress. We also offer unique RPG Group Therapy at MacGibbon Psychotherapy, where games, like D&D and Pathfinder 2e, become powerful tools for personal growth.
My warm, direct personal style usually allows me to build strong relationships with clients, which is important to the therapeutic process. I am a member of the queer and gamer communities, and we have a queer and gamer-affirming practice.

Heather is a really lovely, calming presence. She takes time to thoughtfully consider each client, and think about how to empathically engage with them. (Besides being an experienced clinician). I would recommend her without hesitation.
