Welcome to BetterHelp and congratulations on taking the first step towards getting help. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling, happier life and to take this moment to navigate towards a change you may have always wanted to do and realized that this is the time to do it. Now that you are ready to talk with someone I would like you to know about my background and experience.
My career started in the Summer of 1996 working with adults and children with intellectual and physical disabilities. From then on I knew my path in life was to support and help others with any challenges, obstacles and issues they are facing. Throughout my career I have worked with those struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, discrimination, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, domestic violence, grief, loss, family dynamics, career/financial stress, people with autism, traumatic brain injury and physical/emotional/sexual abuse. I have over 15 years of experience in individual therapy, group work, behavioral case management and facilitation. I have worked with individuals of various ages, creeds, races and cultures. I hope to work with you soon.
The client/therapist relationship is the key to successfully working together. I can interact with you through video sessions, phone, text, and I check messages daily. My availability is in the evenings and on the weekends. I would like to share a quote with you... "With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts" - Eleanor Roosevelt

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 awesome! I always feel so much better after our session and I look forward to talking to her week after week! She has given me many different perspectives on many different aspects of my life that I have never thought of before, and has given me some great advice.
Heather was so kind and helpful for every issue I had. She’s very kind and easy to talk to and makes you feel welcomed during sessions.
Heather is amazing, I feel very lucky to be assigned to her as my therapist. She is empathetic, supportive and fair. My situation has improved greatly since our first session. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone that needs a therapist.
Heather is absolutely amazing. She’s compassionate, patient, kind, and beyond helpful. Heather’s also extremely responsive. She always really listens, takes the time to understand, and provides me with tools that I can use and implement, which are very helpful! Heather listens with compassion and non-judgement. We have a great therapist-client working relationship, which is extremely important and sometimes really hard to find!!
