I have experiencing working with diverse adolescents, adults, and couples. I have worked with clients experiencing a range of issues including anxiety, depression, work dissatisfaction, relationship difficulties, dysfunctional thinking and relating patterns, and infertility issues. I offer premarital counseling to interfaith, intercultural/racial, and same-sex and queer couples.

Navigating infertility can be a rough journey. It can take a toll on one’s mental health and relationships. For fat women, women of color, and LGBT+ individuals and couples, this journey is even more complicated. We deal with unique situations that we have to navigate in everyday life, including going to the doctor, dating, sex, or just how we feel about ourselves and our bodies. I am here to help you feel confident in who you are, your body, or navigate your fertility journey.
To note, I use the term fat, reclaiming it merely as a word describing one’s body and not as an insult. If you are more comfortable using other terms, such as plus-size or curvy, just let me know. I always want you to feel comfortable and safe in our work together.
Couples who participate in premarital counseling report a 30% stronger marriage than couples who do not. Unfortunately, most premarital counseling occurs with couples who are religiously affiliated and often excludes couples who are same-sex or couples with different faith and cultural backgrounds. I offer premarital counseling tailored to interfaith, intercultural, interracial, and same-sex and queer couples.
Do you find yourself thinking about something over and over again and you don't feel like you can control it? Or maybe you have difficulty falling asleep because your mind is racing. Anxiety can look different for different people, but at times it can keep you from living the life that you want. I work with individuals with anxious thinking especially when that thinking gets in the way of having the relationships they desire.
Depression. We've all heard the word before, but how do you know if you're depressed or just overwhelmed? Have you lost interest in things you used to enjoy? Or maybe you cry for no reason. Dr. Heidi can help you to explore the reasons for feeling down or hopeless and will try to get you feeling more like yourself again.
We've all been there before. A boss we can't stand. A job that makes you question what you're doing with your life. A a pit in your stomach at the thought that tomorrow is Monday. Or even a slight heart palpitation whenever you get a work alert on your phone. When your job sucks, life can suck. Most of us spend half of our time awake at work, so what happens if you don't enjoy it? It can bleed into your relationships, hobbies, and before you know it, all you have is that miserable job. If any of these statements hit home for you, then you're in the right place. Dr. Heidi can help you get on the right track with your career and provides a safe space for you to just let it all out about that terrible boss you have to see everyday!
