Heidi

Spiritual Care Consultant & Companion

A session with me is like…
A gentle, grounded conversation where you are deeply seen, spiritually supported, and reminded of your inherent worth as you move through grief, transition, or uncertainty.

One life experience that helps me relate to my clients is…
Over 20 years of walking alongside individuals and families in hospital, hospice, and community mental health settings has shown me how tender life’s hardest moments are—and how transformative it can be to have someone simply stay with you in them.

Three things I want clients to feel post-session are…
Seen and validated, more grounded in their own worth, and gently hopeful about what comes next.

Past experience that qualifies me for this role is…
Two decades of providing spiritual care, chaplaincy, and mental health support in clinical and community settings, companioning people through grief, illness, faith transitions, and major life changes with empathy, presence, and nonjudgmental support.

I currently practice as a Chaplain in both hospital and hospice settings, as well as a Mental Health Clinician in a community mental health setting. I bring 20 years of experience in spiritual care, chaplaincy, and mental health to my work.

When you work with me, you’re working with someone who not only has years of professional and educational experience, but who has also lived a full life and gained wisdom from it. I offer a compassionate listening ear and the validation you need from someone who truly understands what you’re going through. I will connect with you, honor your emotions, and walk this journey alongside you as we find the clarity and hope you need to move forward. My intention is for you to feel empowered to live a full and meaningful life again.
