BRIDGING MENTAL HEALTH & FAITH
A Passion for Helping Others
Hi, I’m Heidi.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), coach, and business consultant helping individuals, leaders, teens, and families experience clarity, emotional health, and aligned direction.
I offer:
Counseling – trauma-informed, faith-integrated therapy
Coaching – forward-focused support for growth, leadership, and life transitions
Business Consulting – helping organizations and leaders build healthy, sustainable systems
My Background
I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Bethel University and am EMDR Certified and Daring Way™ trained. I also completed ICF-accredited coaching training through BetterUp.
I spent 16 years building and leading a successful mental health practice, which I sold in 2024. That experience shapes how I understand leadership, burnout, and building something meaningful.
Family Business Focus
I come from a family business background, giving me firsthand understanding of the unique dynamics between family and work.
I provide coaching and consulting for family businesses and their members, helping navigate communication, roles, and leadership—so both the relationships and the business can thrive.
My Approach
I integrate emotional health, strategy, and faith (when desired), helping you discern what’s yours to carry—and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Let’s Work Together
Whether through counseling, coaching, or consulting, I’d be honored to support you.

Finding Purpose
Life has a way of taking us on journeys we never expected. Looking back, I can see how God has used different seasons of my life—the beautiful ones, the challenging ones, and everything in between—to shape who I am today.
I've spent over 16 years working in the mental health field, including building and leading a successful counseling practice that I sold in 2024. That transition opened the door to a new season of life and work, one that allows me to focus more intentionally on the things I love.
Today, through In Courage Consulting, I provide individual counseling, coaching, and business consulting. I work with people navigating trauma, relationships, leadership, life transitions, and the sometimes messy process of discovering who they are and where they're going. I especially enjoy helping people experience greater emotional and spiritual freedom, grow in self-awareness, and move forward with courage and confidence.
I'm also the host of the Strong Tower Mental Health Podcast, where I explore the intersection of mental health, faith, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. I love having honest conversations, asking hard questions, and creating space for people to think more deeply about what it means to live whole and free.
I'm the author of The Brave Encourager, a book born out of my belief that encouragement has the power to change lives. I still believe that deeply. Sometimes all it takes is someone seeing the potential in us before we can see it ourselves.
Outside of Work
I'm a wife and mom of three kids, which means a good portion of my life is spent driving to hockey practices, cheering from the stands, and trying to keep up with our busy family schedule!
I've also discovered a love for baking sourdough bread. There's something wonderfully simple about working with my hands, slowing down, and sharing fresh bread with friends and neighbors. I love meaningful conversations, learning new things, spending time with family, and finding joy in the everyday moments of life.
My relationship with Jesus is central to who I am. My faith continues to grow and deepen as I learn more about God's character, His love, and what it means to walk with Him authentically. I don't believe we ever arrive at a place where we have everything figured out, and I'm increasingly comfortable with that.
What Matters Most to Me
Whether I'm sitting with a counseling client, coaching a leader, recording a podcast, or having a conversation over coffee, my heart is the same: to help people experience freedom, discover their God-given identity, and live with greater courage, connection, and purpose.
I believe healing is possible, growth is lifelong, and our past doesn't have to define our future.
And I'm grateful that I get to be part of that journey with others.
