This Course Is For You If…
I teach therapists how to build a successful, cash-pay private practice. Opening a six-figure private practice shouldn’t be complicated. That’s why I equip my clients with simple strategies and step-by-step guides.
I am an LMFT in Santa Barbara, CA with over a decade of experience in mental health and business development. I began my career as the marketing director of a large outpatient program in Los Angeles. After helping that business grow, I opened my own six figure private practice.
Life has a way of throwing us curve balls… so after five years in private practice, I moved and opened two more successful practices in new cities! I’m also an adjunct professor at Pepperdine University and Antioch University.
Now, I call Santa Barbara home. In my off time, I love playing with my toddler and spending time with my husband.

This course focuses exclusively on the business aspects of opening your private practice and does not include any marketing modules. The Private Practice Roadmap is meticulously designed to help you establish the solid business foundation for your practice. If you’re specifically seeking guidance on how to attract and fill your new private practice with clients, I invite you to explore my dedicated course, ‘Marketing for Therapists.’ It’s tailored to address your marketing needs.

Although some private practice consultants will offer advice on this topic, this course recommends speaking with a small business attorney as well as your personal accountant. I’ll provide you with specially designed and detailed questions to ask them on this topic. This decision is based on the laws of the state and country you practice in and your very specific financial situation. Different business structures provide different liability considerations, tax considerations, and legal considerations. Any private practice coach who provides direct advice on this topic runs the risk of providing information that is outside of their scope, so I’d recommend speaking to a CPA or small business attorney.
