Private Practice Was Supposed to Feel Good

Instead you’re exhausted and second-guessing yourself.

You built your practice the way you thought you were supposed to, by following what you saw in community mental health, what supervisors told you, or what your peers modeled.

And now? You’re realizing it doesn’t actually work for you.

Maybe your fees are too low, your schedule is too flexible, your systems are messy, or your policies don’t support you or your clients. Maybe you’ve niched down but still struggle to attract the right people. You know things could run better, feel better, and pay better. You just need a thought partner to help you figure out the “how.”

That’s where I come in.

I’m not here to hand you a one-size-fits-all program. I’m here to help you spot the root problems, think creatively about solutions, and take values-aligned action that actually changes your day-to-day work.

Is This You?

You’re a therapist who:

Cares deeply about your clients and your integrity
Wants your practice to feel sustainable and grounded
Knows things could run more smoothly, but isn’t sure where to start
Wants clear systems, confident policies, and a niche you feel proud to name
Is ready to build a practice that fits your nervous system — not someone else’s blueprint

If you're craving clarity, ease, and better boundaries, you’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Emily

I help therapists build practices that feel solid, sustainable, and aligned. Not generic, not copy-pasted. You’ll get strategies that fit your strengths and goals.

Picture this: your schedule finally has breathing room and your evenings belong to you. Your caseload is filled with clients you actually look forward to seeing. No more bending over backwards, second-guessing your policies, or spinning your wheels on strategies that don’t fit.

This isn’t endless coaching calls. You come prepared with your goals and questions; I bring sharp strategy, creative problem-solving, and step-by-step action plans. Together, we move fast.

Most therapists make their biggest changes in six sessions or less (though sometimes we’ll adjust depending on your pace and goals). The goal isn’t to keep you in consultation forever. It’s to help you reset, streamline, or specialize quickly so your practice starts working better right away.

If you’re ready to make smart, lasting changes, I’d love to work with you.

The Three Pillars of Change

There are three big areas where therapists usually get the most traction in consultation. We might focus on one, or we might weave them together—it depends on where you’re at and what you need.

Reset

Most therapists start their private practice by doing what they know: low fees, too many sliding-scale spots, no clear boundaries, scheduling that eats their life, policies copied from someone else’s website. Over time, these cracks in the foundation turn into resentment, exhaustion, and lost income.

A reset is about building (or rebuilding) your practice so it actually works for you: fees that feel fair, policies that protect your time, and a structure that supports your life and values.

Streamline

I can smell an inefficient system from a mile away. It’s both a gift and a curse. If you’re drowning in admin tasks, frustrated with scheduling, struggling to keep up with documentation, or spending more time on your EHR than with your clients, it’s time to streamline.

We’ll design simple, smart workflows that cut the noise and free you up to focus on what you do best.

Specialize

Generalist practices are on their way out. A clear niche with strong messaging attracts the clients you actually want to work with.

Whether you’ve already chosen your specialty or you’re ready to narrow your focus, I’ll help you shape your brand, sharpen your website copy, and choose sustainable marketing channels that keep your caseload full without taking over your life.

What I Do Best

Identifying the hidden friction points that drain your energy

The tiny inefficiencies, unclear boundaries, and outdated systems you’ve been tolerating? I see them immediately. And I help you create simple, clean processes that give you your time and mental bandwidth back.

Bringing clarity to the beliefs that keep you stuck

Private practice brings up old conditioning. Perfectionism. People-pleasing. Fear of disappointing clients. We untangle the “shoulds” and rebuild a business that reflects your values and capacity, not someone else’s blueprint.

Designing systems that honor both you and your clients

You don’t have to choose between being an ethical therapist and running a sustainable business. We build processes that support your nervous system, protect your life outside of work, and still offer excellent care.

Helping you name and narrow your niche with confidence

I help you see what you’re actually brilliant at, package it clearly, and write about it in a way that connects. No gimmicks. Just real expertise, clearly expressed.

Transforming unclear policies into ethical, supportive containers

We take a deeper look at your practice structure — from cancellations to scheduling to communication norms and rebuild policies that feel good in your bones, protect your energy, and still support your clients well.

Creating a practice that lets you sleep well at night

At the end of the day, you get peace of mind and a clear conscience because your business finally aligns with who you are, how you work, and the kind of therapist you want to be.

You are the only one with the power to shape the culture of your private practice. It’s absolutely possible to create an environment where you can do your best work and be your best self.

Real Results You Can Expect

When your practice is aligned with your values and supported by smart systems, everything shifts.

You stop ignoring that gut feeling that something’s off in your practice, and with compassion, we shine a light on it and set things right.
You charge fees that feel fair and stop second-guessing them.
Your schedule respects your time, and your evenings belong to you again.
Your systems run smoothly, so you’re not buried in admin work.
Your marketing feels natural, and it consistently brings in clients you’re excited to work with.
You show up to sessions with more energy, less resentment, and a renewed sense of purpose.

After identifying your goals, we will decide together how often we should meet. You may find that you need more time or less time in between our meetings to complete action steps.
All of our meetings will be conducted through a secure video platform.
Please note that I am located on the west coast and my office hours are generally M-F 8 AM to 4 PM PST.
First, we’ll identify what’s not working in your practice and what you’d like to see change. We’ll brainstorm solutions together and create action plans for you to complete between our meetings.
You’ll be responsible for coming to each meeting prepared with questions and status updates.
