5.0(57 reviews)

Hi, I’m Heather! I became a speech-language pathologist through my own vocal journey of recovery, healing, and self-discovery. As both a clinician and vocal performer, I understand how deeply connected voice is to identity, confidence, and emotional well-being, and I’m passionate about helping others find and embrace their authentic voice.

I specialize in mind-body integrative voice therapy, with a focus on gender-affirming and trauma-informed care. I’ve worked across private practice, teletherapy, schools, and medical settings, supporting clients with a wide range of voice and communication needs.

In addition to my speech-language pathology training, I’m a certified vocologist through the National Center for Voice and Speech, a Certified Contemporary Voice Teacher, Certified Transformational Coach, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and Registered Yoga Teacher. My interdisciplinary background allows me to support clients through a holistic lens that honors both emotional and physical aspects of voice.

My therapy approach is compassionate, client-centered, and deeply individualized. I integrate mind-body practices, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based strategies to help clients build confidence, connection, and authenticity in their communication.
