About Heather

Whether you’re exploring options for family-building, experiencing fertility challenges, navigating reproductive assistance, surrogacy, or adoption, or adjusting to the realities of pregnancy and postpartum, having a compassionate guide can make all the difference.

These transitions are often accompanied by a wide range of emotions, from excitement and hope to grief, stress, and anxiety.

My approach centers on compassion, empathy, and connection. Together, we will foster growth, resilience, and healing, working towards increased awareness, insight, and understanding. By identifying your goals and strengths, we can cultivate a sense of empowerment, making life more manageable and fulfilling.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in Washington and Oregon, and I’m excited to offer virtual appointments to individuals in either state. To ensure flexibility and convenience, I offer daytime, evening, and some weekend options, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort of your own space at a time that works best for you.
