About Dr. HEIDE

Safe Sex-Positive trauma-informed Therapy

My therapeutic approach is primarily individualized for each client, while being integrative and strengths-based in nature. I encourage you to ask any questions regarding my background, experience, and professional orientation at any time.

My practice is designed to empower you to embark on a journey of healing through introspective communication. My genuine, empathetic, and compassionate nature drives my commitment to providing quality care.

I understand that taking the first steps in seeking support can be challenging and that opening up to a new therapist may feel daunting. Attending therapy can often resemble looking into a mirror, confronting the deeper aspects of ourselves. This process may be difficult, yet it can also lead to transformative and rewarding experiences.

I possess experience in various areas of mental health, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and crisis intervention. Currently, my primary area of interest lies in sexuality and adult attachment. My journey into the mental health profession was influenced by my own upbringing within a strict culture that lacked education and discourse surrounding sexual health.

I have come to recognize that sexuality, gender identity, self-expression, and relationship intelligence are vital components in understanding individual life satisfaction. Although these topics may often be considered taboo, leading to feelings of guilt and shame, my goal is to normalize discussions around them within the context of therapy.
