Heather serves a dual role at Revelations as both the Senior Operations Director and a Resident in Counseling. Her roles are supported by her education with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology (Wayne State University), a Certificate in Forensic Investigation (Wayne State University), and a Master of Science in Military and Emergency Responder Psychology [MERP] (Colorado State University Global). Her current work and practice fulfill a lifetime goal of providing personal development and mental health care to our military, veterans, first responders, and other high-risk occupations, as well as their loved ones. Heather recognizes a health care gap between the unique stressors and vital roles these individuals play and the resources available to integrate these occupational roles into our personal and family lives. These warrior and guardian roles often bleed into non-work areas in ways that can be unhelpful, and she aims to help us build better ways to live out our best personal and professional selves.

Heather’s professional background provides a unique intersection of experience, with a strong foundation in psychological education and practical knowledge in responder service and culture. She began her federal career in 2007 as a federal law enforcement officer with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In that role, she served on her Agency’s Honor Guard and on specialized teams focusing on counterterrorism, trends and operational patterns of criminal organizations, and high-risk assessments. She has prior employment as a Management and Program Analyst for the federal government and experience leading narcotics and currency smuggling operations, as well as collaborating with joint task forces and other federal agencies through training. In 2014, Heather received her agency’s Commissioner’s Award for Special Recognition, along with her assigned unit, for her performance on a Congressionally-mandated project.

Heather is originally from Michigan and was born in Detroit proper, where she lived and worked as a young adult. Detroit has a special place in her heart because, as she puts it, “That city has grit!” Detroit is also special because it’s the place where she met her husband, with whom she shares the joy of raising two boisterous girls. She enjoys being active in the outdoors, and you’ll find her running, cycling, and rollerblading as the seasons permit. She enjoys reading fantasy fiction, thrillers, and spiritual and professional development material, as well as live music. Heather appreciates a deep connection with dogs and revels in exploring new places with her family in their 17-foot bunkhouse camper.

Carolyn spent more than 20 years at BLS, culminating as a Senior Supervisory Economist, before joining the U.S. Census Bureau in 2012 as a Survey Director. In that role, she managed interagency agreements and directed programs focused on household economic well-being, children’s health, nursing, and education. Her responsibilities included nationwide data collection, processing, dissemination, staffing, and budget oversight. Carolyn’s federal service earned her a Distinguished Service Award from BLS and two Bronze Medal Awards from the Census Bureau.

In 2023, Carolyn transitioned to Revelations Counseling & Consulting as Operations Manager for medical and surgical appointing under the Veterans Administration Community Care Network (CCN) contract. She was promoted in 2024 to CCN Deputy Program Manager, where she oversaw daily operations, quality assurance, and performance compliance across the contract.

Born at Bethesda Naval Hospital, Carolyn is the daughter of a career Marine, who served active duty in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, and a federal Department of Defense civilian employee. Her parents inspired her lifelong commitment to public service and supporting military families. This passion continues to drive her work at Revelations.

Outside of work, Carolyn enjoys reading, listening to music, and camping with her husband and their dog, Bee. She has lived in Spotsylvania County for over 30 years, where she and her husband raised their adult daughter.

As the son of a retired Marine, Ben spent his early years traveling around the world with his family on his father’s military assignments.
