Heather is very thoughtful, attentive, and accommodating. She has a lot of experience dealing with a wide gamut of issues, and that is evident from the first messages. Heather also invests the time beyond what can normally be expected from a therapist. Her robust interest in my perspective has helped me work through quite complex blind spots I've had in my outlook.

I love having video calls with Heather. It's something I look forward to every week. She understands where I come from, what my situation is. She always is so encouraging and always tries to give advice specific to my situation. I look forward to many more sessions with her.
More about Heather
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I have been a counselor for nearly a decade and obtained a Master of Education in Community Counseling from University of Missouri St. Louis. I sought certification in perinatal mental health because it is my passion to help individuals who are struggling with fertility challenges, mood changes in pregnancy, difficult delivery/labor, pregnancy loss, and postpartum changes. Psychological health is related to healthy levels of self-worth and I believe that every person has many ways they can find value in themselves. Practicing from a person-centered lens, I value the client's perspective and experience while understanding the importance of a therapeutic alliance. I provide a non-judgmental, authentic, and genuine approach to therapy. I have experience and training in areas such as:
-Anxiety
-Trauma
-Grief
-Parenting concerns
-LGBTQ
-Maternal Mental Health
-IVF and perinatal issues
-Stress Management

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Heather is so warm and welcoming! She won’t let you feel alone, even when she’s not there. She has impacted me already so much that her energy just carries me right along to my next step and my next and next.... HIGHLY RECOMMEND Thank you for giving me those all important reminders that I am in control! Such a helpful person that anyone will appreciate.
Very caring, always eager to get to learn the important details about you.
I have loved having Heather as my counsellor. She has been so understanding towards me and so caring. I have been able to share so many of my problems with her which I have not been able to share with anyone. Just having Heather for two weeks has taken so much weight off my shoulder.
Heather has been exceptionally kind, supportive and helpful. She listens and understands my needs and doesn't push me outside my reach. I would highly recommend her. She's great at offering support, suggestions and applicable tasks to help overcome challenges.
