Heather has provided me a safe space to talk about things I ordinarily would never share with anybody outside of my entrusted circle. We hit it off from the beginning and our sessions are more like a conversation with an old friend who understands me better than anyone else I know. She has given me some valuable tools and some great insight to where I am getting to know myself better and am actually able to work through years of things in a conscious way. Thank you Heather, and looking forward to working with you more in the future!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Heather has been the sweetest and most understanding person. She is not judgmental and is genuinely a caring person. She doesn’t just does her job as a therapist, she treats you as a human being. She gets to know you and keeps you considered. She really tries her best. She has helped me so much <3
I absolutely appreciate Heather and her feedback on how to deal with my issues. I'm a work in progress and she is fully aware of that and ready to accept that challenge.
Heather is my new safe space. I feel like I can vent to her about any situation and she completely understands where I’m coming from. She’s very welcoming, and soft-spoken. not pushy, or too forward. I will recommend her to all my friends after this. I love her! LOL
I’m more impressed and improved after 2 sessions, than I could have ever anticipated. This is an amazing experience so far, and I would encourage others to try this useful opportunity!
Heather is responsive. She gives valuable feedback of what needs to be heard not what I want to hear. She guides me through my emotions and connects the thoughts for me
