About Heather
I am a clinically licensed social worker in the State of Nevada (License 7740-C) and Washington State (License SWI.LW.70106637). I was originally licensed as a social worker in 2008 and have been clinically licensed since November 2017 (License 7740-C). I also serve as an approved clinical supervisor for interns pursuing clinical social work licensure in both Nevada and Alabama.
I have extensive experience supporting clients through stress and anxiety, depression, motivation challenges, low self-esteem, confidence-building, and navigating major life transitions. I believe you are the expert of your own story, and that within you are strengths, insights, and resilience that can guide you through your most difficult moments. Seeking support is a courageous step toward a more balanced, fulfilling, and empowered life—and I am here to walk alongside you in that process.
My therapeutic approach primarily draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. I also incorporate mindfulness, grounding strategies, and intentional practices to help you cultivate clarity, emotional regulation, and sustainable personal growth.
