About Heather:
I have spent the last 15 years working with individuals, families, and couples from all walks of life in Canada and around the world. With the unique experience of working in both community and clinical spaces, I have learned that one cannot exist without the other. As humans, we need each other.

I am here to hold space for individuals as we journey together through whatever it is that life has thrown at you.
