Therapist, Accountant & Business Coach for Therapists
If you’re here you are most likely a therapist who is feeling burnt out, underpaid or overwhelmed with the thought of starting a private practice (or all of the above).
If so, you’re in the right place!
With over 15 years of business experience, a BA & MS in Business, and a passion for helping other therapists create a practice that works FOR them, I bring both empathy and business expertise to the table.
My goal is to help you build a business that is financially rewarding, deeply fulfilling, and flexible to meet your needs - because we are human first.

I have helped hundreds of therapists with their dream practice!
Most therapists don’t get a single business class in grad school…And that’s not your fault.
When I was 5, I told everyone I wanted to be an accountant.
Not because I loved numbers (I didn’t even know what an accountant did), but because my aunt, my role model, was one. She worked in a sleek office tower in the city and always seemed so confident and successful. I wanted to be just like her.
So, I followed the plan: business school, a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Business, CPA licensure, and a job in a big, shiny building in Boston. On paper, I had made it. But inside? I was deeply unfulfilled.
In 2020, I took a leap and went back to school to pursue something I actually loved — therapy. It finally felt like I had found my calling. But almost immediately, something didn’t sit right.
Unpaid internships. $35/session jobs with no benefits. Agencies expecting 50+ clients on your caseload — all for less money than I made in corporate life, with twice the emotional load.
I didn’t change careers to be even more burned out.
Thankfully, I had one major advantage: I knew business.
So instead of waiting for a "better" agency job to come along, I bet on myself. I opened my private practice in 2024 — and I haven’t looked back.
Now, I choose when I work. I only see clients who feel like the right fit. I charge what I’m worth, take real vacations, and enjoy 3-day weekends. My business finally works for my life — not the other way around.
And the best part? You can have this too.
I help therapists like you feel confident, capable, and fully equipped to launch a private practice that aligns with your values, supports your life, and pays you what you're worth.
Imagine starting your week with energy instead of dread — knowing your practice reflects you.
Ethical. Legal. Profitable. Sustainable. I’ll show you how to build it step by step.
