More from Heather:

Hello! I’m Heather, a licensed Master’s Level Social Worker dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive space for all my clients. I am passionate about supporting individuals in navigating their unique identities and life experiences.  I have experience with the LGBTQIA+ community, the neurodivergent community (Autism, ADHD), members of the homeschool community, and navigating anxiety challenges.  I utilize a strengths-based and collaborative approach, honoring the diverse ways people engage with the world while introducing practical tools that address their challenges.

With a focus on LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, I utilize a supportive and inclusive approach to validate the vast array of experiences and identities in the LGBTQIA+ community.  I prioritize mental health and well-being through an environment free from discrimination and stigma that provides safety and acceptance.  I will employ affirming techniques while we explore societal stigma, family rejection, discrimination, and more that impact a client’s mental health.  We will work on building resilience and developing coping strategies for stressors while creating a positive self-concept.

When working with members of the neurodivergent community, I utilize a tailored approach that is empathetic and respectful of the uniqueness of neurodivergent experiences.  Depending on the client’s needs, we may need to explore navigating social interactions, understanding sensory sensitivities, time management, emotional regulation, communication skills, and validating strengths and special interests.  I believe building rapport is of the highest importance, as well as adapting communication style to what works best for the client.  Together, we will create goals that resonate with individual needs and aspirations.

Navigating daily life can be a huge challenge, especially when anxiety is always present to make things worse.  I utilize evidence-based techniques such as CBT to identify and challenge negative thoughts and work on coping strategies and relaxation techniques.  We will also explore mindfulness and grounding exercises to help reduce feeling overwhelmed.

I firmly believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and valued. Together, we will explore your life journey, celebrate your identity, and work to help you achieve your personal goals. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, seeking support for neurodiversity challenges, or exploring and embracing your authentic self, I am here to provide compassion, support, understanding, and a non-judgmental attitude.

I am also a certified 13th Octave LaHoChi practitioner dedicated to helping individuals connect with their inner light and promote healing on all levels—spiritual, emotional, and physical. 13th Octave LaHoChi is an energy healing modality utilized as a complementary approach alongside other forms of healing or therapy. Intention and mindfulness are emphasized, encouraging the client to have active engagement in their healing journey.

With a deep understanding of energy work and its transformative potential, I facilitate sessions that harness the powerful frequencies of the 13th Octave LaHoChi system. This modality promotes deep relaxation, emotional release, and overall well-being.

When supported with love and intention, I believe in the body’s innate ability to heal and thrive. Whether you’re seeking relief from stress or emotional blockages or wish to enhance your spiritual journey, I’m here to guide you along your path.

Together, we will create a nurturing space for healing, growth, and empowerment. Let’s take this journey together!
