My Story
When I first began my career in psychiatry, I was passionate about helping people heal, but I quickly realized that building a sustainable, impactful practice was far more challenging than I expected. Like so many clinicians, I was highly trained in medicine, but I wasn’t taught how to run a business, reach the right patients, or create a practice that could thrive without burning me out.
Through years of trial, growth, and determination, I transformed those early struggles into a thriving private practice—one that allows me to serve patients with excellence while also creating freedom and stability in my own life. Along the way, I mentored residents, new psychiatrists, and mental health professionals who were walking the same uncertain path. Again and again, I saw the same needs surface: guidance, clarity, and practical steps for building something lasting.
That’s why I wrote The Thriving Private Practice. It’s the book I wish I had when I was starting out—a roadmap to not only building a profitable practice, but also one that reflects your values, fuels your purpose, and makes a difference in the lives of others.
This is my story, but it’s also an invitation. If you are a mental health professional ready to grow beyond survival mode, this book was written to help you build a practice you love—and a career that thrives.
