"**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS**Motherhood, parenthood, and family relationships can be challenging. Whether you’re a first time parent or an experienced caregiver, some of life seasons have growing pains. You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, sad or drained. Your relationships may be feeling complicated and it might feel like you can’t keep up with the life changes you’re experiencing. But you are ready to do something different. I believe every individual has the strength within them to create the changes they need to live the life they’ve always wanted."

"I am passionate about helping individuals and couples access and strengthen their intuition, limit anxiety, depression and stress, hone into their internal intelligence and use more of their potential to overcome challenges relative to addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, mood management and relationships. I am passionate about assisting my clients in overcoming their resistance and fear in order to live their best lives."

"I provide individual, couples, and family therapy to adults, adolescents and children. My experience in life and as a therapist has taught me that change and personal growth is always possible, despite the curve balls life throws your way! My goal as a therapist is to help you tackle life's challenges so that you can find happiness and live life to the fullest. My experiences have also taught me that humor and motivation are the key to any therapeutic success. My non-hypoallergenic dog, Meatball, is present in all sessions and is training to become a certified therapy dog."

"Maybe you've noticed having sweaty palms when going to a meeting, or having your heartbeat race when you have to talk to someone, or a burning red face when having to speak in public. Perhaps you've noticed feeling dizzy, having trouble breathing or nausea when you least expect it. Perhaps you've begun to isolate yourself. The experience of anxiety, depression and stress can be overwhelming. For people who suffer from these conditions activities such as meeting friends for dinner, going to work, having to speak in public, are painful challenges that are accompanied by a host of negative physical and emotional symptoms."

"My practice primarily treats children, adolescents, and adults through the modalities of individual,family therapy and parental guidance. I approach each client's issues, situations with care and compassion in order to create a non-judgemental space so they can develop their strengths and gain new insights into their symptoms and behaviors. I enjoy the process of building the therapeutic relationship as I believe that it is through relationships people can heal. Much of my experience is treating trauma; anxiety; mood disorders; and transitional issues such as divorce, adoption, loss, and relational issues."

"Would you like to work toward meaningful change? Would you like to understand what's getting in the way of having fulfilling experiences? I offer a comfortable environment where you can get to know yourself better and find ways to understand how to get what you want."

"As a therapist, I come alongside and help you to define your personal goals and develop strategies for the changes you desire. We will work together to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and others. Whether you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals."

""Here we go again."...having the same fight we've had a hundred times before. The subject may change, but the flavor... the feeling... is always the same. Our downward spiral. Our bad deal. But if we could learn to break the pattern... to interrupt the downward spiral... well that would be something, wouldn't it. So that's where we'll start. This is not a "traditional couples therapy" approach. It's skills-based, educational and results-oriented. When the roof is broken, you find a hammer and nails and you fix it. When your relationship is broken, this is your hammer and nails. "

"So, you're looking for a therapist? While it seems like a daunting task, it doesn't have to be. There are great people on this site, and I'm sure there's someone who you could see yourself working with. Everyone is different, which is why there are different styles of therapists, and different types of therapies. Finding a good fit is often the most important step of therapy. You want your needs to match with my expertise."

"While specializing in men's issues, anger management, and adolescent populations, I also work individually with women dealing with anxiety, loss and relationship issues. With an emphasis on strengthening relationships and self-esteem, therapy is designed for people searching for a more balanced approach to working through change. I offer family therapy, have extended success connecting with male and female adolescence whose behaviors have been labeled oppositional or explosive, and work with parents/families who struggle with how to relate and communicate with their teenager and each other. "

"I believe that every individual can live his/her life to the fullest. Everybody is capable of overcoming their past and present obstacles in order to achieve their own freedom. As Jean Paul Sartre said wisely "Freedom is what you do with what has been done to you". I am committed to helping people to empower themselves and promote their well-being by creating a nurturing and safe environment for strength-based, culturally sensitive and compassionate counseling."

"***I am not accepting new clients at this time due to my upcoming maternity leave****** I'm passionate about providing a space where individuals and families can feel heard, accepted, & loved through their story. By taking that first step to enter into a therapeutic relationship we give ourselves the gift of opening our story to another. Brené Brown puts it best when she says " Owning our story & loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we'll ever do". I am honored to be apart of that process at whatever capacity I can."

"In my practice, I focus on creating a calming place where reflection is no effort. I believe in the importance of space, a space where you can walk into and fully live in the present moment with your thoughts and feelings. Life can be filled with hardships, challenges, and transitions. Within this space, I make it a goal to support all of my clients in finding their inner needs, wants, and strengths that often become dismissed through the chaos of life. I take a holistic, collaborative, and person centered approach as I fully believe the client is the expert of themselves. "

"I especially enjoy supporting individuals who seek counseling settings that are comfortable, approachable, practical and feel like the approach is customized to them."

"Heidi is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 10 years experience assisting children and families struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, self-esteem, self-harm, and emotional issues related to separation and divorce within the family. She also has experience providing individual, couples and group therapy in the areas of grief and loss, chronic illness, adults living with ADHD, mood disorders, and relationship issues. "

"Choosing to enter into a therapeutic relationship can be a difficult choice. I often tell my clients when I meet them that I understand how hard it can be to open up to someone who is a stranger, but that I believe therapy can be helpful to anyone. I encourage my clients to think about therapy as "something you do that is just good for you" like other self-care, spiritual, and health and wellness activities."

"I work with people of all ages ranging from children, adolescents, and adults who come to therapy for many different reasons. Dealing with emotional pain and stress is difficult and therapy helps people learn new ways to overcome the feeling of being stuck and empowers them to move forward with their lives. Common symptoms people experience are anxiety and depression and it can be inhibitory to a person's life, leading to negative feelings. I collaborate with clients to develop therapy plans that lead to positive life changes and a more fulfilled well being."
