Testimonials

Heidi is an incredible therapist, she helped me navigate through my childhood traumas around my alcoholic parent. In my upper 20s I found out my fiancé was having an affair and I’m not sure I would have gotten through that difficult time in a healthy way without her. She uses conversation and many different styles of activities to open up new perspectives and ways to process difficult situations. Highly recommend Heidi to anyone who needs professional help.
