I Love Helping Therapists Build Successful Private Practices!

My dream is to help you reach yours. I’ve had so many conversations over the years with people just like you, excited to start their private practice but feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, and anxious. At some point in the conversation they always say, “Wow, thank you! This is so helpful!”

I adore mentoring other therapists and I’m here to walk your journey with you.

I’ve been working in the mental health field since 1987 and I’ve been a therapist since 1997. I’ve started three successful private practices, so I’ve been right where you are right now. Three times. I get it and I can help. I know exactly what you need to know. Even those things you don’t realize you need to know yet. Some of them took me years to figure out. Don’t be me. You don’t need to end up a stressed out mess!

You can start using the information today to successfully tackle those millions of details you think are standing in your way. Then you’ll be free to simply focus on seeing your clients, just like you’ve always dreamed about.

Don’t waste time trying to figure it all out on your own. Investing in your future is one of the most important decisions you will make for both you and your clients.

These Mini Courses are going to save you time and anxiety while making it much easier to manage your own private practice. They are full of great information that’s easy to understand while providing you with what you need to know every step along the way.
