About Working Phase

Like you, I got into this work because of a passion to make a real difference for others.

And also like you, I know this job is really really tough. 

The trauma we absorb, the exhaustion of our work assignments, and the sheer volume of need can turn the warmest, most generous clinicians into shells of their former selves.

My peers and I sacrificed so much...until I had a scary car accident after a long, late Friday night session.

That was my turning point.

When the dust settled, my path was forever changed. I took charge of my career trajectory and did what was needed to preserve my love of the job while also respecting myself.

This meant acknowledging the broken mental health industry, embracing the right opportunities, and committing to improving this field for all of us.

I am focused on getting you the solutions you need through three essential areas:

  1. Burnout Prevention: Practical, systems-based strategies to protect your energy and sustain your career.

  2. Professional Development: Clear training to sharpen your clinical skills.

  3. Consultation: I care for your clients by caring for YOU, the most important tool in the therapy room.

If it sounds like you're in the right place, make sure to subscribe to the Working Phase Newsletter so we can stay in touch. I write them with therapists like you in mind, and it makes my whole day when you reply with comments and questions!

Can't wait to hear from you,
