Bio
Heather's nomadic lifestyle as a military dependent was very exciting but left her with a strong desire to plant roots and call someplace HOME. In selecting a place to call home, she desired the vibrancy of a college town but wanted a city that was conducive to raising a family and a city that is strong in both the arts and cultural diversity.
After graduating from Penn State University, Heather chose Gainesville to be her adopted hometown and has lived there since 1992. In 1996, she earned a graduate degree in counseling and has owned & operated a private counseling practice, Therapeutic Alliance Group, Inc., for the last 16 years.
Heather's company proudly served as the lead agency providing mental health and substance abuse services to the federal offenders in the Northern District of Florida. Gainesville has helped Heather gain 24 years of varied and invaluable healthcare experiences including nine-years serving as the onsite employee assistance counselor at Nationwide Insurance, military mental health, geriatric care management and corporate wellness program services. Heather has counseled over 10,000 area individuals and families. She loved nothing more than helping people improve their lives but sitting in an office for 10 hours a day behind closed doors was starting to stunt her interpersonal growth.
In 2015, Heather took a major leap of faith and dramatically switched careers from healthcare to real estate. Real estate has always been a passion of hers and not a far stretch given that she resided in over 19 homes all before the age of 25. As a teen growing up in Loudoun County, VA, Heather got her first taste of real estate by working open houses for a few local developers and always loved real estate!
Heather went to real estate school in 2001 but sidelined her efforts and dove headfirst into building successful private practice because she always wondered in the back of her mind if she had what it took to be a successful full-time agent. Real Estate was always on Heather's mind and the main topic of conversation in her private life.
Heather has always had the entrepreneurial spirit, so she dove headfirst into her career in real estate and soon became one of the area’s top-producing agents. What Heather is most proud of is the network of friends and customers who have become like family who look to her first for their real estate needs. Those that know Heather well know she wants to be your go-to professional for all your real estate questions.
Heather’s career in real estate license offers Heather the opportunity to combine her passion for helping people with her skills as an expert listener and trained negotiator (Florida Supreme Court-Certified Mediator). Meeting the individualized needs of buyers & sellers is her goal but her mission is to be a trusted counsel and friend throughout the buying and/or selling process.
