Now for the fun part 🙂 Hi all, Heather here. Alongside the professional aspect of my job, I also want you to know that I’m a genuine person who gets frustrated, makes mistakes, and will eat the frosting off of cupcakes. Yes, I’ve even seen a few therapists of my own. Some of my hobbies are discovering new music (attending concerts), doing my own crazy colored manicures, and making desserts. My husband and I live in Southaven with our fat cat, Olive. Our first meeting, I’ll likely mention that I love my job; if you choose to work with me, I think you’ll find that I take joy in my work!
