From Heather: “I believe in meeting my clients where they are. I work from a primarily child-centered approach, allowing the child to take the lead. Reflective listening and unconditional acceptance are at the core of healing. Depending on different strengths and needs, I am also able to use a more directive approach, allowing for more guided and specific activities.”
