Hello! I’m Heather

Welcome, I am glad you are here! As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I love helping people navigate the challenges of life. With over five years in the mental health field, my goal is to empower you to achieve emotional well-being and build healthier connections with yourself and others.

I hold a dual Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling, and I’ve worked in various settings like schools, universities, treatment centers, and hospitals. I’m particularly passionate about supporting those struggling with disordered eating, often rooted in perfectionism and low self-worth. I understand how these feelings can impact your relationship with food and yourself.

In our sessions, I take a personalized approach, using methods like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you unpack the beliefs that hold you back and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

My style is calming, nonjudgmental, and authentic. I value being real, and I’m here to help you discover and embrace who you truly are. When I’m not in the counseling room, you can find me enjoying the outdoors—mountain biking, skiing, or trying out new restaurants in Denver. I also love traveling back to my hometown of San Diego and spending time with family and friends.

If you’re facing challenges with perfectionism, low self-worth, attachment, relationships, or personal growth, I’m here to support you on your journey to healing and reaching your full potential. Let’s talk!
