LOAM COUNSELING
Therapy that meets you where you are.
Telehealth therapy for adults across Oregon.
ABOUT ME
Professional Life
I'm Heather, a licensed professional counselor in Oregon (License #: C8933). I work with adults ages 18 and older, offering telehealth (virtual) sessions across Oregon. I also have experience providing clinical supervision to student interns.
I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon, in 2018. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 2010.
I draw on experience in vocational skills training, instructional assistance, and children's mentorship programs.
Personal Life
I grew up in a small town in California and moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2010 after finishing my undergraduate degree in Santa Barbara. I enjoy running after my two young children, adventuring with my husband, backpacking, hiking, camping, and reading fantasy books.
Does it feel like you can't do it all anymore? Maybe you've been trying so hard to hold everything together that you're feeling burned out. Or perhaps you've reached a point where you're not sure how to make things feel more manageable.
If this sounds familiar, you are in the right place.
ABOUT LOAM
Loam is rich, fertile soil that supports growth. That's the kind of environment I work to create in therapy.
Loam was created to meet you where you are and help you move toward what feels valuable, meaningful, or simply more helpful in everyday life.
HOW WE DO THERAPY
Like fertile soil, therapy needs the right conditions for growth. This includes feeling welcome, understood and free from judgement.
You bring the knowledge of your own life; I bring clinical experience and practical support as we find a helpful path forward.
WHAT WE DO IN THERAPY
Our work is evidence-based, skill-based, and collaborative. It includes identifying your goals and building skills that fit your real life.
I tailor this work to your lived experience, values, beliefs, and cultural background.
“Anyone who deeply and honestly shares with us the struggles of their heart, their pains and fears, helps us to make us more free. This is so because their story is really, in some way, our story. It is everyone's story.”
