Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also helps people manage parenting strain, workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and sleep problems. Heather aims to make change feel practical and doable instead of overwhelming.
Heather uses a mix of approaches in sessions. She draws on client-centered conversations to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness practices to address thoughts, behaviors, and present-moment experience.
In sessions Heather helps people practice new ways of communicating, set boundaries, and repair patterns that lead to codependency or attachment worries. When trauma is part of the story, she can include focused trauma work to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Heather has six years of counseling experience and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. She practices in Colorado and provides services in English. To begin, visitors answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
Her approach is steady and collaborative. She aims to walk alongside people as they build skills, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with meaningful goals.
How Heather’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the client. Online conversations can create space for that kind of reflective, person-led work even when life feels busy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing changes in behavior; online sessions can include worksheets, short behavioral experiments, and practical homework to try between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift painful emotional patterns that affect relationships, and that kind of focused emotional work can be done through regular online conversations and guided exercises.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Heather works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into a workday, quieter evenings, or when traveling. Online appointments can support progress with consistent weekly check-ins, flexible scheduling, and tools you can use between sessions to practice coping skills and communication strategies.
