TRANSFORM YOUR
MENTAL HEALTH PRACTICE
“My journey from solo therapist to CEO wasn't without challenges, but it taught me that with the right guidance, we can achieve what once seemed impossible. I'm deeply passionate about helping others, especially women in business, join the mere 1.7% of women-owned businesses that ever reach $1M in revenue. Those I've worked with appreciate that I keep it real and authentic... you can't work with me and be afraid of dropping an F bomb! I believe in your vision and would be honored to walk alongside you on your path to creating a thriving practice that truly makes a difference. Success means more when it's shared, and I'm here to share what I've learned with you.”

“There's more to me than spreadsheets and growth strategies! My Buddhist studies under Phrakru Buddamonpricha taught me that mindfulness is a practice that grounds both my personal life and business approach. As someone diagnosed with AuDHD later in life, I understand firsthand the unique strengths and challenges that come with neurodivergence, which has deeply informed how I build inclusive workplace cultures. When I'm not growing my 4+ businesses (as a true entrepreneur!), you'll find me snowboarding in Aspen, creating art with my 3 children, writing poetry, or getting my hands dirty in my greenhouse. I believe in continuous learning, fighting for social justice, and cherishing authentic human connections. Because at the end of the day, that's what makes all of this meaningful.”
