​It's a myth that time heals. Time heals nothing. It's what we do with the time - the choices we make in the time. The people we surround ourselves with. The life we create and share. The love in our hearts and the hope in our minds, at any time, can heal, create, inspire and change almost anything... you just have to take the time to realize it. Look at yourself, and the faces of others... stop to see all the possibilities - open yourself up to this life and say, 
​

Heather (she/her) is a clinical social worker who has been practicing for more than a decade. She is the owner of Brave Choices, Inc. and enjoys helping folks who have experienced trauma and/or have chronic health conditions.

It takes a lot of bravery to seek assistance and support for life’s difficult situations – you are not alone. Are you having a difficult time connecting with your partner? Feeling stuck? These are some of the challenges that Heather has helped others (like you!) work through. You and Heather can problem solve and strategize on how to take your next step. 

Working with many diverse clients in difficult situations, Heather has an extensive background around racial, ethnic, diverse socioeconomic, and cultural issues. She is a counselor that is community-minded and believes in working with you to create brave choices while going in-depth on the paths you chose to explore in your therapy. She believes in working collaboratively together to develop practical steps to achieve solutions to immediate problems and proactive approaches to long-term issues. Using a collaborative and strength based approach; Heather has been counseling people since 2010. How we treat ourselves is critical to our day-to-day lives, to our families, to our communities, to our future – you deserve a good relationship with yourself.

Those who are interested in taking a creative approach in therapy are welcome. When working with individuals, families and different cultures, Heather utilizes her experience in the arts to help individuals express things creatively that they may be hard to express verbally. Some individuals do not think of themselves as “creative enough,” but, this is an option open to all clients she works with. She believes that everyone deserves a good relationship with themselves.

Let’s work together to create a plan for you. If therapy with Heather doesn’t feel “right,” Brave Choices will try to find someone who is a good fit for you.
