I am a counselor licensed in the state of Indiana with over 7 years experience in community mental health. I am experienced with both in-office and telemedicine (remote therapy with phone and video). I've encountered a wide range of people and pretty much worked with it all! My expertise is in depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also work with life transitions, relationship concerns, self-harm, identity difficulties, crises, grief, and self-esteem. I'm open to pretty much everything, as I've worked with the severely mentally ill, such as those out of the hospital with suicidal ideation, bipolar, and schizophrenia.
My counseling style is empathetic and validating. I see you as a person, not a label or a set of symptoms. I'm trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), mindfulness, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), motivational interviewing, and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy). More than anything, I believe people just need to be heard and understood, although skills and techniques are helpful as well.
It takes a lot of bravery to seek counseling, so we will go at your pace, with guidance but no pushing.
I look forward to working with you!

Heather is what everyone needs in a therapist. She's patient, kind, and very understanding. I was scared to try therapy, but one session with her erased all my fears. Truly she provides therapy the way everyone should experience it.
