Heidi

(Any pronouns)

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate based in Tri-Cities. My MFT training means that I bring a systemic lens and approach regardless of what modality is being used. My training is focused on couples, families, and other groups, but I enjoy working with individuals as well. My work will always look at the systems we exist and work within to gain greater understanding of our issues and opportunities. My goal is to create an accepting environment without judgment for clients to work on growth and goals relevant to what brings them to see me. This is done with a nurturing attitude, humor, and care. I am interested in including games or other nerdy activities into treatment where appropriate and desired by clients.
