About Heidi
She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Emotionally-focused work helps people notice and name strong feelings that get in the way of connection. Solution-focused strategies target immediate, practical steps that can reduce stress and build momentum.
Heidi has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting problems, career concerns, and challenges like ADHD, bipolar disorder, or sleep disruption. She also supports those dealing with midlife transitions, grief over life changes, and workplace strain. Her approach blends attention to emotion with down-to-earth problem solving.
Sessions are straightforward and collaborative. Heidi listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set small goals they can try between meetings. Mindfulness tools are offered when they fit a client's needs to help manage stress and bring more focus into daily life.
Her training includes a Master of Social Work from Boston College Graduate School of Social Work, and she holds an MA LICSW. Heidi practices in Massachusetts and brings four years of professional experience to her work.
