Make it stand out
Need heading
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.
