Greetings. My name is Heather. I have been a social worker for over the past 6 six years and recently obtained my clinical license. I have been working since I was 16 years old. I have done everything from childcare, restaurant server and was the director of a gymnastics program for over 5 years. As a social worker, I have experience working with children through adults in a variety of settings. My most recent position I was a supervisor for an inpatient psychiatrics hospital. I enjoy collaborating with my clients. I want to hear what has been troubling you and how together we can make adjustments, learn new skills or prospective. Ultimately, to learn to live the life you dream of.
My approach
My approach to therapy is a collaborative team work. Together, we will discuss what has been troubling you and we will determine the "game plan" on how to make adjustments. This could be using techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and/or psychodynamic therapy.
My focus
I typically see clients present with increased depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. In addition to ADHD, social and family stressors. I am most comfortable working with these presentations along with personality disorders, and psychosis.
My communication style
I like to create a very peaceful and relaxing environment. Together, we will discuss your likes and dislikes and determine what communication style best suites your needs. When we work together, I would like our time together to be like talking with a friend; easy and relaxed.
My journey to mental healthcare
I choose to be a social worker to show people the light in life. I want to plant a seed in someone's life in order help people create the life they want.
My goals for you
I like to get the clients perspective on the goals we will work on. Together, we will determine what are the tops goals they feel are important and continue re evaluating the goals.
My first session with you
During our first session, we will get to know each other. I will complete basic assessments and gather information from the client that would be helpful in determining what treatment will look like.
