I Want to Help You Thrive...

When you apply to graduate school, no one warns you about the financial realities of becoming a mental health professional.

You invest thousands into your education and licensure—only to realize that making a sustainable living doing the work you love is a challenge.

I’ve spent the past 30 years navigating these realities, figuring out how to build a successful career while supporting a family. Now, I want to help you do the same.

That’s why I created this course—along with an entire series designed to help mental health professionals thrive, not just survive. There are proven shortcuts, and I’m here to show you the way.
