Testimonials

Submitted anonymously by clients to protect confidentiality

I was very anxious about starting therapy, but after just one session I felt so encouraged, heard and supported! Heather has helped me heal in some amazing ways, through her patience, understanding and support. She has created a safe and inviting environment where I feel comfortable sharing anything with her. I am so grateful I took that first step and have felt supported and encouraged every step of my healing journey!

From the very beginning, I felt seen and valued during every therapy session. Heather created an environment where I always felt safe to be honest about what I was struggling with. She encouraged me to dig deeper and discover parts of myself that were essential to my journey of healing.

Professional Endorsement

As an educator, supervisor, and practicing therapist for almost two decades, it's been my privilege and pleasure to engage many fine therapists and counselors who bring to this noble profession, skills and presence which facilitates the recovery and restoration of others. In Heather's case, however, this takes on a whole new level of meaning, as she demonstrates a constellation of gifts, charisma, and insight God uses again and again, to help people heal, which makes it easy and gratifying to recommend her to anyone seeking guidance and assistance in their healing journey.
