"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) in the Commonwealth of Virginia. My clinical experience has been working with children and adolescents, providing individual, family, and play therapy. I also have extensive experience and specialized training in working with young children (zero to five). My clinical focus with children supports my belief that by fostering healthy social and emotional development and strengthening child-caregiver relationships, clients can and will begin to experience positive change."

"What's going on in your relationships with other people? Can't quite figure it out? I talk as well as listen -- people in my office laugh as well as cry. They also talk back at me and disagree, which is surprisingly helpful to them. I'm a straight-shooter. If you want truth, dare to make an appointment with me. Before switching to this field, I worked in different parts of the country in many different kinds of work, all of which gave me a good grasp of the real world and the many changes people have to make."

"Are you going through a challenging transition or midlife crisis? Perhaps struggling with anxiety, stress, sadness or other difficult emotions? I can help. Together we'll explore your situation, identify what's holding you back, and support you to make changes that improve your life. My style is relaxed, warm, interactive and focused on helping you use your strengths. Clients I work best with are motivated, want to understand themselves better, and enjoy their life more than they currently are. I'm glad you're taking this important step to feel better. (For professionals seeking career coaching, I'm also a Professional Certified Coach.)"

"Searching for a therapist can feel overwhelming, however, finding a good fit is imperative in order to get the most out of your time, effort, and finances. You want to find someone that allows you to feel safe, understood, and ultimately maximizes results for you. I take a warm, empathetic and comprehensive approach to help individuals experiencing stressful circumstances live more meaningful and balanced lives. I work with you to figure out what you need and want in life and help identify and make changes in your life to be the best version of yourself."

"Whether you want to lift your mood, improve relationships, overcome issues from your past, change behaviors that hold you back, or help your child to feel better - I look forward to helping you. Therapy can be a catalyst for change: to help you weather a storm, get out of a rut, tackle a challenge ... in short, to create the life you want to be living. I became a therapist, and created Catalyst Counseling Services, because I believe that when you're matched with the right provider - therapy works."

"Welcome. The most important aspect of psychotherapy is the relationship with the therapist. Working through conflicts or past pain happens through experiencing, not just through merely reading or thinking about things. Gaining self acceptance and discovering how to bring an open heart to your family or intimate relationships does not come simply from acquiring an insight, or from reading a "how to" book. It starts with the healing relationship... and the only way you will find out how comfortable you might feel with your therapist is to talk to them in person. My focus in treatment is on the relationship."

"My main focus is relationship/ couples therapy. I have extensive experience working with individuals across the life span, couples, families and groups from various backgrounds i.e cultures and age groups with a wide range of psychosocial stressors with areas of focus, including but not limited to, testing for ADHD, marital/ relationship conflicts, divorce, mental health, eating disorders, substance abuse, domestic violence, maturational stress, military lifestyle, interpersonal/intrapersonal conflicts, suicidal ideations, grief and loss, child/adult abuse, parent child -relational issues."

"Urban living has its unique challenges, which can lead to stress, depression, anxiety, feelings of emptiness, a sense of loneliness and other highly charged feelings and experiences. Are you in transition, a "transplant" to the area or maybe you have lived here all of your life? Are you having relationship problems...going through a break-up, separation or divorce? Are you experiencing difficulty in connecting with others? Maybe you are experiencing a crisis in your career, feeling mismatched-unfulfilled? Or are you feeling unhappy but can't figure out the source, the "why" you are feeling this way?"

Comprehensive psychological evaluations with children, adolescents, college students and adults clarify the nature of an individual's struggles and uncover the unique strengths of each person.

"Typically, I work with clients ranging in age from 12 through adulthood. Many of my clients are facing challenges with depression, anxiety, job or school performance, relationship issues (couples, parenting, family of origin, and work). Often people come to a juncture in their lives when they know something must change. My work focuses on the desired change each person brings.

Executive coaching, leadership and team building, masterful communication, and conflict mediation skills are offered to organizations."

"Heidi's clients include men, women, and adolescents who are struggling with difficult transitions, trauma, past or present abuse or childhood emotional neglect, or substance abuse. Many of these clients express sadness that they feel lonely or disconnected in relationships or with friends.

She believes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship is necessary to help clients explore these issues, identify self-defeating patterns, and make sustainable changes. Coming to therapy can be a difficult experience, but she knows it can be deeply rewarding."

"As a Clinical Psychologist for the past 30+ years, I have worked with individuals, couples and families with a wide variety of issues and concerns. While problems need to be identified, I prefer to focus on the strengths that are often obscured by the stress and the immediate crisis. As the stress becomes manageable, so too can we together discover the strengths that will result in solutions, growth and improvement. I look forward to sharing that challenge with you."

"Misunderstood, alone, angry, confused, sad, anxious, apathetic, lost. These are a few common emotions that can often feel overwhleming and never-ending.
