Office Manager

I am Heather, the Office Manager at Trauma to Hope Counseling Services.

My responsibilities include overseeing office operations and supporting clients with services and their mental health journey. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. My psychology career started as a Behavioral Therapist, where I gained my Registered Behavior Technician Certification.

My passion lies in mental and emotional wellness, particularly in the workplace. I aim to enhance human well-being and create a positive and safe environment.

Clinician

I understand and cherish my role as a support and coach and work with you instead of telling you what to do. I have seen this approach in several systems, such as immigration, DCF, and other social service agencies. I know that approach does not work for many reasons. Together, we will raise your awareness to determine your likes, dislikes, strengths, triggers, and skills and take action steps toward attaining your goals. I specialize in working with individuals, families, couples, and groups.

Clinician

I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. People are different; they think differently, have different perspectives, grieve when they suffer a loss, and process their feelings differently. That is why as a clinician, I meet people where they are. I provide a safe place where people are free to be themselves, to take time to go through the different layers of their challenges and work through the things that trigger them. The best support I can and do provide to my clients is listening to them and getting to know what works best for them individually because I know they are each unique.

I have always wanted to be in the mental health field to help others navigate and cope with mental health challenges because I was born and grew up in a culture where mental illness is frowned upon. I had witnessed firsthand what mental illness can do to someone and the whole family unit when left unattended or untreated. What I have learned from working with battered women, unhoused families, and individuals with mental challenges has inspired me to support others in facing their mental health challenges.

Clinician

I can’t wait to partner with you on your journey. My approach is to meet you where you are by being compassionate, empathetic, supportive, and encouraging you to be empowered. I use a personal outcome approach to get to the root of what you want to see happen for yourself. I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop a better connection between their emotional reactions and the rational part of decision-making. I am also knowledgeable and can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Together, we will develop appropriate coping skills for distress tolerance, improve emotional regulation, foster healthier relationships, and increase your overall sense of hope. I also use Solution-focused therapy to help clients overcome specific goals (s). I believe that Strengths-Based therapy is also needed in practice to focus on your positive attributes and build on those. I am skilled in working with diverse populations. I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I look forward to creating a supportive therapeutic relationship with you in a safe, non-judgmental space to help you achieve your goals.
