As a lifelong learner herself, Heidi is passionate about co-creating therapeutic relationships with her clients that foster growth, insight, and inner peace. Heidi specializes in couples and relationship therapy, betrayal and infidelity, sex therapy, and problematic sexual behaviors.

Heidi appreciates that every person is unique and has their own lens through which they view themselves and the world they inhabit. By listening intently, Heidi guides her clients as they embark on their own journey of self-discovery and healing. With a deep understanding of human behavior and a desire to empower others, Heidi creates a supportive and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their inner world. In this environment, her clients can constructively and compassionately examine their current challenges. Heidi believes that when humans feel safe enough to be honest, they can find the courage to confront themselves. Through this process, she guides her clients in making meaningful connections by looking through the windows of the past and unlocking the door to a future of freedom and possibility. Past clients have shared with her that the most meaningful aspect of therapy was feeling seen– that the way she carefully listens to her clients allows her to hold a mirror for them to see themselves more clearly.
