Hi friends,
I wanted to pop into your inbox with a little life update.
We are officially at the *end* of a very long season with the book. Final edits were underway when Old Man Winter decided to make a dramatic entrance — my editor was snowed in for 10 days. Not exactly the timeline we planned, but honestly? It feels a little poetic. A quiet pause before something new begins.
This project has stretched me in all the right ways. Writing about leadership, resilience, and staying steady in the middle of complexity has required me to live those lessons in real time. We’re in the final stretch now — and I can feel the momentum building.
And speaking of weathering storms…
If you’re needing community, clarity, or just a room full of clinicians who *get it*, I’d love for you to join us at the 3rd Clinician Connection Conference. It’s one of my favorite spaces of the year — thoughtful conversations, practical tools, and real connection. If you’re looking to grow strong (and steady) in this season, come be part of it.
There’s more coming soon — with the book, with leadership work, with all of it. I’m excited to bring you along.
Grateful you’re here.

Leadership Planning for the New Year Without Hustle or Burnout
Most leadership planning skips a critical step. It jumps straight to goals—before leaders process what the last year required of them.
Effective leadership planning for the new year begins with reflection.
End of Year Leadership Reflection: How to Close the Year With Clarity, Not Burnout
The end of the year does something to leaders. There’s urgency—budgets, evaluations, planning meetings, and expectations about what comes next. And underneath all of that, there’s often a quieter pull asking a harder question…
Leadership Reflection Questions Every Leader Should Ask Before the New Year
Before leaders plan the year ahead, there’s a more important step they often skip: reflection.
Using intentional leadership reflection questions helps leaders extract wisdom from experience instead of carrying the same stress, habits, and patterns into another year.
From Burnout to Balance: Reclaiming Your Role as a Mental Health Leader
If you’ve ever felt the tension of holding space for everyone else while your own energy slips away, you’re not alone. Many therapists and practice owners enter leadership with passion, only to find themselves exhausted by the endless responsibilities of running a business, guiding a team, and still showing up for clients.
The truth is, burnout doesn’t have to be the price of leadership.
Leading Without Losing Yourself: Sustainable Leadership for Mental Health Professionals
For many mental health professionals, leadership often comes as an unexpected next step. You start as a clinician, deeply invested in the healing journey of your clients, and somewhere along the way you’re called to lead—whether that means running a group practice, supervising others, or stepping into advocacy work.
The Power of Clarity in Leadership
In the fast-paced world of mental health care, leaders are often pulled in a dozen different directions at once. Between supporting clients, guiding a team, and managing the day-to-day operations of a practice, clarity can feel out of reach. Yet clarity is one of the most powerful tools a leader can cultivate—and without it, even the best intentions can quickly unravel.
Redefining Success in Group Practice Leadership
In the world of mental health, “success” is often measured by numbers—how many clients you see, how many clinicians you supervise, how fast your practice grows. But what if those markers don’t tell the full story? What if true success in leadership is about sustainability, alignment, and creating spaces where both clients and clinicians can thrive?
Leadership Burnout Prevention Starts With Reflection, Not Resilience
Leaders are often told to be more resilient. Push through. Adapt faster. Handle more. But resilience alone doesn’t prevent burnout—it often masks it. True leadership burnout prevention begins with reflection.
