More about Heidi

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

As an experienced therapist I appreciate the energy it takes to confront issues that feel overwhelming without clear solutions. I take my role seriously in facilitating healing. I care about my clients and do my best to minimize any unpleasant symptoms you are experiencing while we work on strategies that move you towards a more satisfying life. I am authentic, non-judgmental, and direct in my approach. If you are feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or have tried to make things better without lasting success, I can help.

Connecting with the right therapist is the first step. I have been helping others shift their perceptions, heal from emotional pain, and reach their personal goals for over ten years. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in the treatment of complex trauma, PTSD, substance use, and mood and anxiety-related disorders. I have extensive experience working with interpersonal conflict including domestic violence. I work with individuals, couples, and families seeking relief from the troubling effects of trauma, the negative impacts of unhealthy communication styles, the harmful consequences of substance use, and challenges associated with change.

My clinical specialties include treating victims of violent and sexual crimes, adult survivors of early childhood traumas, and substance use specific treatment and recovery. I value and respect diversity and consider myself an LGBTQIA ally. I look forward to hearing from you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

Heidi is an amazing therapist. We hit it off in our first session - I could tell she understood me and my challenges and was committed to helping me where I need it.

Heidi has been such a wonderful support to me over the last 6 months. She is highly empathetic and really understands how our nervous systems can be impacted by trauma and really healed me apply some tools to help in real time situations. I will definitely continue counseling with Heidi in the future. Thank you so much Heidi!

Heidi is hands down the best therapist I have ever worked with (and I'm not new to therapy, so I don't say that lightly). She is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced, she is incredibly open-minded and accepting, and she has the kind of personality that is comforting and easy to talk to. No matter what the topic is, she always knows just how to respond, always asks just the right questions. Her listening skills and attention to detail are above and beyond anyone else I know. I never have to repeat myself and she will even bring up little details of things I told her a long time ago and make a connection with the present in a way I would not have thought of myself. I love how personal her approach feels and how she offers alternative strategies that I can personalise and be creative with. I leave every session feeling very accomplished and like I have a LOT to think about during the next week. I can go on and on, but what it comes down to is this: Heidi is THE BEST. I always feel heard by her, seen for who I really am, and supported in anything I do. Thank you so much, Heidi!

One word...wow! I was so incredibly blown away on Heidi's insight within the first 10 minutes of our first session. She is intuitive, genuine, knowledgable, basically everything you could ask for in a counselor. Things were beginning to feel hopeless and I knew I had to do something. I'm so glad I tried online counseling and I'm so grateful to have had Heidi assigned to me. I feel like I can take anything that life wants to throw at me because I know she's in my corner. Thank you so much Hiedi, you are amazing!

Best of the best.

Reviewed April 2020

I really love working with Heidi, she directly responds to what I have said and provides information, not always telling me everything, so I can try to put it together on my own a bit (perhaps it's just me reading ahead in my mind). I really, really love it. I accidentally discovered some very interesting things I really didn't understand about myself. Heidi has been one of the best people I've worked with in my life, and I deeply appreciate her time.
