Heather is always so friendly. She listens well and is engaged in the conversation. She steers the conversation but allows for plenty of opinions. She is respectful of time and patient.

Heather is an amazing therapist who always listens, directs the conversations, and suggests what I can do to correct certain things for the week. She’s very kind and has earned my trust, which is a big thing because I don’t trust very easily. She also understands my busy lifestyle and does not give me busy workbook tasks, but instead, provides something I can work on for the week. She is an amazing person and therapist!
