Her attention to detail and calm, steady approach help create a sense of stability for families navigating emotionally complex legal matters.

With a strong background in family law, Heather has extensive experience working on matters involving divorce, child custody, child support, domestic violence protection orders, and post-judgment modifications.

She approaches this work with deep empathy, confidentiality, and a trauma-informed mindset, believing that every client deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported during such vulnerable times. She is committed to helping survivors regain their sense of control and move forward with strength and confidence.

Outside of the office, Heather is a proud mother of four and values spending time creating memories with her family. She loves the outdoors and enjoys hiking, paddleboarding, camping, and exploring nature whenever she gets the chance. These adventures help her recharge and stay grounded, allowing her to bring patience, resilience, and positivity into both her personal life and professional work.
