Bio

 Hello! My name is Heather and helping others has always been a passion of mine.

When I accept 1-on-1 chats, I mainly accept loneliness & anxiety chats as those two topics I have much life experience in. 

Unfortunately, mental health care is expensive and I understand the struggle. Even though I volunteer and can't provide any advice or solutions, I want members to feel at ease knowing they have someone who cares and will listen and not have to stress about paying a professional. 


Online Activity:

Tuesdays

Wednesdays

Thursdays


 do not accept sexual health or inappropriate chats.  

do accept casual chats 


Availability

1 on 1 chat: occasionally accept chats as I work 5/6 days a week.
