One of the goals of counseling is to gain knowledge and insight into problematic behaviors, beliefs, feelings, and relationship issues. I believe that a person can come into the knowledge of self to regain control, motivation, and self-worth to reach their full potential. In this I believe in establishing realistic and achievable goals for individuals and families that will bring forth true freedom. I incorporate several therapeutic techniques and interventions that are designed for the individual client that includes but not limited to; person centered, brief solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Do you want to take the next step in your commitment, but would like to identify strengths and examine potential roadblocks before moving forward? Maybe you're doing well, but could strengthen intimacy, communication, or understanding within your relationship.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of learning difficulties, including those caused by AD/HD. My approach to academic difficulties goes beyond the limited information contained in a diagnosis. I identify the specific causes of learning problems that can be targeted with academic therapy or accommodations in the classroom. I provide detailed interventions and recommendations that target specific cognitive processes (e.g., working memory, processing speed, planning, organization, etc.), higher level language and comprehension skills, and basic academic skills required for efficient learning. I use the latest research on individual differences to tailor interventions.

Has grief stolen your joy? Has trauma ripped the rug out from beneath you? Have you experienced an unexpected or sudden loss? If so, I’d bet you’re overwhelmed with how to find your footing in a world that doesn’t slow down. I’d also guess you’ve begun to distance yourself from friends and family because you feel misunderstood, and maybe even minimized, in how you're navigating the aftermath. The weight of grief and trauma can be paralyzing, causing us to disconnect from the support we need. I'm Heather, and I’d love to help shoulder some of that weight while we integrate the grief and trauma in a way that doesn’t feel so heavy.

You may have wondered how therapy can help or whether you could benefit from it. Have you suffered a tremendous loss and don't know who you are anymore? Are you surrounded by people but feel all alone? Is the overwhelm of daily life keeping you from being your best in relationships? Have you been in conflict for years and thought you'd be past it by now? Maybe you've come to the end of yourself and need a fresh perspective. It is not too late. There is hope for you.

Recognizing the need to work on a problem demonstrates courage. Perhaps you are out of ideas for how to cope with a troubled marriage/relationship or a strained relationship with your child or teen. Maybe you are depressed or anxious, experiencing job burnout, and nothing you've tried has helped. You might have a vision of how you want life to change, but need a calm and supportive place to work out how to get there. In times like these, you want someone to understand you, help you redefine your strengths, and offer some new options.

You know that if the people you love just did things the way you told them to then it would all work out. They would be happier and then you could be happier. When they are okay you can function. You can live your life and do what you need to do, you can breathe. But they don't do things that way. And then when you argue you notice all your "old stuff" comes up and you feel like your in the twilight zone. No matter how much you try to make different choices, the same stuff keeps happening...again and again and again.
