Hi! I’m Heath and I’m thankful you’re interested to learn more about me and my background. Please reach out if you have any questions.

I’ve served in both counseling and ministry roles for over 25 years, in addition to being an entrepreneur and business owner. I earned my Doctor of Ministry in Marriage and Family Counseling and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana.

My wife and I have been married for 27 years. We have a college age son and teen daughter. And we’ve called Fort Wayne home for the last 23 years.

Counseling Approach

My approach to counseling is centered in the Christian worldview, yet nondenominational. I am sensitive to and respect each client’s level of openness to including a Christian emphasis in their counseling or coaching experience. As clients are open to Christian counseling, I will use Bible passages, biblical and theological principles for understanding and dealing with life issues, encourage prayer, and provide guidance for Christian spiritual growth and development.

Additionally, the following therapy modalities (and others) are drawn from in order to personalize treatment approaches to best meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

• Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• The Gottman Method of Relationship Therapy
