I’ve always known I wanted to help people.
Becoming a therapist was a natural fit. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Social Work and dove headfirst into supporting women, families, and individuals through life’s biggest transitions.
What I didn’t realize at the time was how much that training shaped my money mindset — in ways that held me back. I walked away with incredible clinical skills and some deeply rooted beliefs that being of service meant I shouldn’t expect to earn well. For years, I believed I had to choose between helping others and creating financial stability for my family.
let’s start at the beginning…I opened my private therapy practice when my first two kids were both under 2. It was chaotic, beautiful, and A LOT.
I still remember setting up office furniture while my infant daughter lay on a blanket nearby. I did all the “right” things — networking over coffee, taking insurance panels, trying to grow one slow step at a time.
Eventually, I decided to hire another therapist — at the time, it felt like the only path forward if I wanted to scale without burning out. In hindsight, it wasn’t the only option, but it was the right move for that season. It helped me grow the business in a way that supported my life.
Even as the business grew, I stuck to one non-negotiable: I only saw clients during daycare hours. No evenings. No weekends.
I wanted to be the kind of mom who had time for her kids and her husband. And myself.
I kept my clinical hours part-time, but as any entrepreneur knows — the business side never really turns off. It’s always there, quietly humming in the back of your mind. But I figured out how to grow sustainably, in a way that protected my time and energy.
After three years, I crossed the 6-figure income mark. Now, that practice is on track to pass the million-dollar mark next year in lifetime revenue.
Through it all, I learned how to run a business that’s both profitable and aligned with my values. And now, I help other mom entrepreneurs do the same.
I coach women who are tired of the hustle, the guilt, and the endless mental load — and who want real, sustainable strategies that give them more time, calm, and confidence, not less.
I know what it’s like to build a business during naptime, to question your worth, and to crave more connection with your kids while still wanting to pursue big goals. I’m here to remind you: You’re allowed to have both. And you don’t have to do it alone.
