Hello, I'm Heather, MSW, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Life happens, and sometimes a lot can happen all at once. Relationship struggles, family planning, career changes, navigating academic life, death/loss, depression, anxiety, postpartum, gender and sexuality, family stress, illness, trauma, and COVID-19 are issues we all have experienced. Itâs easy to get overwhelmed by the enormity of significant life changes or even day-to-day routines, especially after a three-year pande...

I try to help clients see and appreciate their own emotions and strengths and to be curi...
Many people live their life in survival mode, many accept this for the best that they and life can offer. It is my belief that everyone is capable of experiencing the ability to thrive in life. When we settle for just surviving, we are not truly in control, and we seldom see the outcomes we truly desire in our lives. Surviving can cause you discomfort and sometimes interfere with meaningful relationships, and your sense of achievement. Life can be difficult to manage, tackling it requires the ri...

I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system for over a decade, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, but principles/interventions from other paradigms also inform my work, and I love working with students. Ultimately, the nature of therapy depends on the patient, what they are up against, and their goals. For this reason, the course of therapy is difficult to describe, but I think it only ever works in a context of empathy, respect, an...
