Heather serves individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan, but specializes in serving children and adolescents, individuals in the foster and adoption community, and those with traumatic experiences.

Heather believes that everyone has a unique gift (1 Corinthians 12:4-7), and her purpose is to support others in their healing process (Romans 8:28).
