It is an honor to join you in the process of making change! I view therapy as empowering and collaborative. I am a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of clinical experience. My philosophy integrates existential humanistic ideals with practical cognitive and trauma recovery techniques. My style is respectful, gentle and nurturing. I encourage you to identify and focus on your strengths and expand your self awareness in order to create the life you want to have.

Are you a kind and thoughtful person who cares for others yet struggles to find time for yourself? Do you find it difficult to relax? Living with ongoing anxiety, stress, or impacts from past trauma can make life feel challenging. You might experience self-doubt, trouble focusing, feeling on edge, irritability, or relationship issues. I’ve been there and I get it. I specialize in helping people like you find your inner calm and clarity. Let's work together to enhance your regulation, practice new skills, and gain insights so you feel more at ease and confident in yourself.

Hi, I’m Heidi! I understand that healing is not linear. Sometimes emotions rise over items that you once considered healed, and I’m here to help to move through them at your speed and help you to honor your journey. How you heal is deeply personal, and I’m looking forward to exploring this with you. You are your best healer; I’m here to guide and support you. In my personal time, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, spending time with my animals, and exploring all that life has to offer.

You are facing some challenges in your life like trauma, mood disorders, chronic health or pain issues, perhaps with co-occurring diagnoses of mental health & addiction. You might be struggling in your relationships as a spouse, partner or parent. You need a collaborative partnership with a trauma-informed therapist who will customize their approach towards your care, work with you to understand your needs, recognize your strengths and learn to address your challenges. You are looking for a therapist who is responsive to your culture, sexuality & uniqueness. You could work with the therapist as an individual, a couple or a family.

I find that people can be in all sorts of stages in their lives and readiness to change. What matters more is the willingness to explore, be curious, and most likely ask some difficult questions.

I love working with people who are ready to work to grow. Being in therapy takes courage, and it takes commitment to growth. While I meet my clients where they are, I love encouraging growth at the same time. I use a somatic whole-body and mind approach. I believe people are incredibly resilient when they feel supported and safe enough to express their feelings, thoughts, sensations, meaning making, and to be themselves.

If you're here because your past traumas are creeping up on you, what you show the world doesn't align with what's on the inside, or your anxiety/depression has depleted you---I want to work with you. You might be someone who has a hard time asking for help, so the fact that you're even thinking about getting it is a big step. Sometimes, we just need a therapist to guide us along our path to feeling better. I want you to feel equipped to handle life’s ever-changing ups and downs, and to be able to do it with a sense of purpose, stability, and self-awareness.

Accepting NEW clients for Telehealth and in-person! I enjoy working with people of all ages (pre-teen+) and helping them work through where they feel stuck with relationship issues, trauma, and abuse. I help them engage in healing, and living life authentically. I work with clients from an array of various backgrounds and presenting concerns - including doctors, single parents, individuals without housing, students, professional athletes, veterans, retirees, inmates, disabled individuals, homemakers, business owners, teachers, and so forth. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where they can express openly.

Cedar Hill Therapy provides sensitive, knowledgeable, evidence-based ​therapy to couples, families, & individuals. For some people, therapy is the beginning of a transformation for their lives and relationships; for others it can help them solve a specific issue and move forward with more confidence and less anxiety. Therapy may help you to see things in a different way or help make a decision that moves you forward.

No code switching over here, no holding back over here, no showing up as half of your true self. You are entitled to having a therapist who strives to really see and understand you. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or are a concerned friend or family member, having an outside perspective can make all the difference. I have spent the last 10 years connecting with people, talking through and solving problems and being a voice of reason when things seem unmanageable or out of control. I have your back!

My passion for being a therapist is rooted in relationships. We cannot survive and thrive without connection to others - yet how can it get so messy and complicated!? As a couples and family therapist, I am dedicated to support you through those hard times. Viewing your relationship as my "client", I aim to help identify patterns and cycles that are keeping you stuck and disconnected. Your differences are complex, but I view them as possibilities to build a strong team. In addition to couples work, I enjoy working with individuals experiencing family and relationship issues, career concerns, anxiety, and difficult life transitions.

Here you are inquiring about a space, about being seen, being heard, feeling understood, and accepted. THERAPY. A practice full of compassion, vulnerability, connection and growth. I believe right now in this present moment that there is trust and light within each of our hearts. I believe that our hearts become ignited as a therapeutic relationship and intentional practice grows, as we intertwine our energy, our words, our creativity, the therapeutic work that is filled with understanding, support, encouragement and knowledge that is what creates harmonizing growth, healing and wholeness within oneself.

I know how hard it can be to make those first steps. I am here to support you as you grow towards a better and more sustainable future. I specialize in identity and role exploration along with the managing the related disorders that come with masking, keeping up appearances, or lost sense of self. These can include depression, big emotions, stress, burnout and high anxiety- especially among those working in high pressure jobs or other stressful roles. This also includes exploring identity and social roles as an LGBTIA+ or Autistic person, dissociative disorders, ADHD and executive functioning challenges in general.

Hey There! I'm Bee. I am a quirky, non binary, queer and neurodivergent therapist who has a social justice, existential and feminist lens when it comes to therapy. My focus is on exploring personal identity. What does it mean to be Queer in a heteronormative world? What are your own values versus values imposed by society? I bring authenticity to the therapy room, creating a comfortable space for you to express yourself as you wish (slippers and coziness welcome!). I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, addressing complex trauma and exploring gender/identity.

I provide integral treatment to support you. We collaborate on methods to work towards goals, wellness and thriving in a healthy lifestyle. In EMDR therapy you will be guided through an 8 phase treatment with BLS (i.e. eye movement or tappers). After determining which memories to target, you hold different aspects of that event, internal associations arise and you can process the memory & disturbing feelings. The meaning of the painful event is transformed on an emotional level. In marriage therapy (EFCT), our goals are to understand love systemically, emotions & attachment needs, control negative patterns & shape positive bonds.

For those struggling with anxiety, sleep issues, motivation, low self-esteem, relationship issues, PTSD, focus, parenting, workplace stress, bullying, codependency, and general stress, Therapeutic Life Coaching goes to the root of the issue - for real change. Experience feeling heard, supported and prepare yourself to move forward in your life with a healthier body, mind and spirit.

Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed, and alone? Have you been impacted by trauma, anxiety, and/or depression? We can work together to create the life you want to live. You deserve to feel free to be yourself and love who you are. I am here to listen, validate, and facilitate transformation by exploring your inner world. We will build you up with approaches that encourage empowerment. You are safe here.
