PRIVATE PRACTICE CONSULTING & LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FOR THERAPISTS
High-impact consulting and training for private practice growth, strong supervision, and bold leadership.
FEATURED IN
YOU’RE A SKILLFULL THERAPIST, SO WHY DOES IT STILL FEEL HARD?
Because clinical training doesn’t always prepare you for practice ownership, leadership, or the weight of decision-making.
You know how to be present with clients. You understand the clinical work. And yet, when it comes to building a practice, navigating supervision or leadership roles, or making big professional decisions, it can feel unexpectedly complex.
Not because you’re doing something wrong, but because much of this work lives outside what most therapists are formally trained for.
I’ve seen this from both sides, as a clinician and as an educator working alongside therapists at many stages of their careers. The challenges you’re facing are common, understandable, and not a reflection of your competence.
You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself!
FROM CLINICIAN TO PRACTICE OWNER & CLINICAL LEADER
Leading as a Private Practice Owner
Owning a private practice means holding responsibility beyond clinical work, including structure, finances, boundaries, and long-term sustainability.
Many therapists step into ownership without clear guidance on how to lead these decisions in ways that feel aligned rather than reactive.
Consulting supports you in clarifying your role as a practice owner, strengthening systems that support your work, and navigating business, ethical, and leadership decisions with steadiness and confidence.
The focus isn’t on becoming a different kind of clinician, it’s on leading your practice in ways that are thoughtful, ethical, and sustainable for both you and the people you serve.
Leading Clinical Teams & Group Practices
Leading clinicians is different than managing a business.
Whether you’re supervising a single clinician, growing a small group practice, or leading an established clinical team, this role carries layered responsibility. You’re holding space not only for client care, but for clinicians’ development, ethics, boundaries, and sustainability, often while still carrying your own clinical work.
Many therapists step into these roles without much preparation or support, learning as they go and hoping they’re getting it “right.”
The pressure to lead well, protect clients, support clinicians, and make sound decisions can feel heavy, especially when there’s no clear roadmap.
Consulting supports you in clarifying your leadership role, strengthening systems that support your team, and navigating supervision, ethics, and decision-making with steadiness and confidence. The focus isn’t on becoming a different kind of leader — it’s on leading in ways that are thoughtful, ethical, and sustainable for everyone involved.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
IN PRIVATE PRACTICE & CLINICAL LEADERSHIP
Confidence: Trusting your judgment, owning your responsibility, and leading without constant second-guessing; even when decisions are complex.
Clarity: A defined professional identity, clear priorities, supportive systems, and protected time for rest including time away that doesn’t create chaos.
Competence: A commitment to ongoing learning and practice including the parts of leadership and business that don’t come naturally; met with curiosity rather than self-criticism.
Courage: The willingness to take thoughtful risks, try new approaches, and learn from missteps without letting them define your worth.
Commitment: Staying engaged when the work gets challenging. Supported by structure, boundaries, and intention rather than sheer willpower.
Compassion: Offering yourself the same care you extend to others, especially when growth feels slow or imperfect.
Celebration: Pausing to acknowledge progress, effort, and leadership — not just outcomes, but the steadiness it takes to get there.
Community: Being in connection with others you can lean on, learn from, and grow alongside because private practice and leadership aren’t meant to be done alone.
SUCCESS ISN’S A FINISH LINE
It’s building a practice and a leadership role that supports you as fully as you support others.

I’M HERE, TO HELP YOU UNLEASH YOUR TALENTS
You already bring care, skill, and commitment to your clinical work.
My role is to support you as your work expands into private practice, leadership, supervision, or other roles that ask more of you than clinical training alone prepared you for.
As a private practice consultant and leadership guide, I work with you to clarify your role, strengthen your decision-making, and build systems that actually support your work and your life.
This isn’t about adopting a “CEO persona” — it’s about developing a leadership style that fits who you are.
Together, we may focus on things like practice structure, marketing clarity, productivity, boundaries, time management, clinical processes, and sustainable systems. All in service of helping you feel more grounded and confident in how you lead.
We’ll also gently challenge the narratives many therapists carry — that wanting more ease, stability, time, or financial security somehow conflicts with being caring or ethical. It doesn’t.
This work is about helping you lead with intention, trust your judgment, and build a professional life that feels aligned — not forced, rushed, or performative.
If you’re ready to feel more steady, confident, and supported in how you lead your work, I’d be glad to walk alongside you.
