About Me
Welcome! I am Heidi, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) & Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS). I have been practicing in the field of clinical therapy for over a decade in various settings with children, adolescents, adults & families. I specialize in working with clients that have experienced trauma and I value supporting my clients in their healing journeys.
I am originally from New York where I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2012, and relocated to North Carolina in 2015. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and take a trauma-informed approach with clients.
I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where clients can feel comfortable sharing their true experiences. I'd love to learn about what you are going through and how I can help.

Adult Therapy:
I believe in healing through corrective experiences and prefer to use methods that are designed to alleviate the distress associated with painful memories. This includes Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and other Experiential Therapy modalities that are proven to be equally as effective in a virtual setting.

Pediatric Therapy:
The first step in healing for children is creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment where kids are able to show up and be their true selves. I believe in taking time to build rapport and a trusting therapeutic relationship that can be the foundation for authenticity, emotional vulnerability, and longterm healing.
