Hi, I am Heather! I have 11+ years of experience providing therapy to people who feel stuck, unheard, and trapped within our system of social norms and unrealistic expectations. I identify as queer and have worked with clients in all stages of recognizing their queerness. I also have significant experience working with those who have experienced trauma, whether due to their sexuality, abusive relationships, upbringing, masking, or otherwise. I hold a Master's in Clinical Social Work and a Bachelor's degree from the University of West Florida. If you're looking for a therapist who's laid back, nerdy, uses humor, and will also challenge you to make the changes you've come to make, then I'm the therapist for you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
Hi, I'm Heather, pronouns she/they! I'm an LCSW and I have 11+ years of experience providing therapy to people who are feeling stuck, unheard, and/or trapped within our system of social norms and unrealistic expectations. I identify as queer and have worked with clients in all stages of recognizing their queerness. I also have experience working with those who have experienced trauma whether related to their sexuality, abusive relationships, upbringing, or otherwise. I love helping clients get to those "ah-ha" moments. I find that these moments unlock the gates of progress and healing. I practice a multitude of evidence based modalities and tailor them to each of my clients' specific needs. Most of my experience comes from working with those who have experienced significant complex trauma, people who are neurodivergent, and those within the LGBTQ+ community. Are you looking for a therapist who's laid back, nerdy, and uses humor; but will also challenge and support you to make the changes that you want to make? Then I'm the therapist for you! If you are interested reach out to me today. I will answer any questions you have and help you determine if I am a good fit for your therapy needs.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
What you can expect when working with me: 1) For out first session I will be focused on building rapport with you and gathering background information that will help me in understanding the specific details that make you you and/or are keeping you from being your favorite version of yourself. 2) After the first session, our following sessions will be focused on helping you make progress towards your goals. Which if we did not identify in the first session, we will identify in the second session. 3) Each client is different in regards to how their own personal sessions go. My goal is to use the evidence based practice that is a good fit for each client on an individual level. You are not paying for cookie cutter treatment and you will not receive it. 4) Depending on the client's preference we will review progress on goals, at minimum, every 3 months and move forward as is appropriate.
