More about me

Years in Practice: 20 State: Maryland

I am licensed in Maryland with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with trauma and abuse, self esteem and confidence, depression, anxiety, relationships, life changes and grief. I work with all ages, including children, teens, young adults, the pride population (LGBTQ+,) and older adults. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

I have only had one session with Heather, but I felt seen and heard. Something I haven't felt in a long time. Hoping to work on new coping skills and developing new ways to deal with things in my next session with Heather.

She has been amazing and is so easy to talk to

Overall

Heather has been the exact kind of calm, open-minded, supportive therapist that I needed, because it takes me along time to get comfortable enough to open up to new people. She always seems actually interested in what I think and say. She offers a sensible outside perspective on issues that are hard for me to make sense of from up close. She is helping me get better without trying to make me into somebody I'm not, and I appreciate that.
