More About Heather
Life at any stage is challenging, and when you have tried everything to overcome those challenges you can feel frustrated and hopeless. Perhaps you feel alone or stuck.

Heather works from the belief that hope and wholeness are possible.
As a clinician, she creates space where clients can bring their whole self - the messy, the hurt, the hidden, the misunderstood - into this journey. Together, Heather works with clients to learn new ways of being, and develop the skills that we all need to live life to the fullest
