As my practice continues to evolve, I wanted to share a few updates about where and how I am currently offering services.

I am pleased to announce that as of June 2026, I am officially licensed to provide psychotherapy services in New Mexico. This expansion allows me to support clients residing in New Mexico through the same integrative, trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming approach that has shaped my work for many years.

At the same time, I have made the decision to let go of my professional licensure in Georgia. While transitions like these can bring logistical changes, they also create opportunities to reflect on what forms of support are most aligned with the needs of the people I serve and the direction of my work moving forward.

For Current and Former Georgia Clients

For clients located in Georgia, this change means that I am no longer able to provide psychotherapy services under a Georgia mental health license.

However, many individuals may continue working with me through mental health coaching services when appropriate. Coaching differs from psychotherapy in important ways. Rather than focusing on diagnosis, treatment, or clinical mental health concerns, coaching is designed to support personal growth, life transitions, self-discovery, nervous system awareness, goal clarification, and creating meaningful change.

Many of the themes that bring people into my practice—identity shifts, neurodivergence, burnout recovery, life transitions, relationship patterns, purpose, and personal growth—can often be explored effectively within a coaching framework.

If you are a current Georgia client and have questions about what this transition means for you, please reach out so we can discuss your individual situation.

Coaching Services Available Worldwide

One of the benefits of coaching is that it is not limited by state licensure requirements in the same way psychotherapy is.

I currently offer coaching services to clients around the world who are seeking support navigating:

Major life transitions
Neurodivergent identity exploration
Midlife reinvention
Burnout and recovery
Career and business evolution
Personal growth and self-trust
Spiritual exploration and meaning-making
Nervous system regulation and resilience
Relationship transitions and life crossroads

My approach remains deeply informed by my background as a psychotherapist while integrating somatic awareness, nervous system education, mindfulness, trauma-informed principles, and holistic approaches to healing and growth.

Why Transitions Matter

One of the themes I have become increasingly passionate about over the years is helping people navigate periods of transition.

Whether you are entering a new stage of adulthood, moving through perimenopause, changing careers, ending a relationship, receiving a neurodivergent diagnosis, starting a business, healing from burnout, or simply sensing that your life is asking something different of you, transitions often bring both uncertainty and possibility.

Too often, we are expected to "push through" these periods without adequate support or reflection.

I believe transitions deserve to be honored.

When approached intentionally, transitional seasons can become powerful opportunities for healing, growth, self-understanding, and greater freedom.

Rites of Passage: Support for Life and Business Transitions

To support individuals moving through these transformative seasons, I created two signature coaching programs:

Rites of Passage in Therapy

Designed for women and other humans navigating significant life transitions, this program helps participants make sense of where they have been, where they are now, and where they are being called next.

Together we explore the emotional, psychological, somatic, and symbolic dimensions of change so that transitions become opportunities for deeper alignment rather than simply challenges to endure.

Rites of Passage in Business

Created for therapists, healers, helpers, and entrepreneurs, this program explores the often-overlooked relationship between personal transformation and business growth.

Rather than focusing solely on strategies and productivity, we examine the developmental stages, identity shifts, fears, and opportunities that naturally emerge as businesses evolve.

The goal is not simply to build a business, but to create a business that reflects who you are becoming.

Looking Forward

I am excited about this new chapter and the opportunity to serve clients in New Mexico, Illinois, and Florida while continuing to expand coaching opportunities for people worldwide.

If you are navigating a season of change and looking for support that honors both your inner experience and the practical realities of transformation, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Change can be disorienting. It can also be an invitation. The question is often not whether we are in a transition, but how we choose to meet it.

If you are interested in working together, feel free to book a Consultation Call or a Discovery Call for Rites of Passage. I look forward to hearing from you!

My Own Rite of Passage as a Therapist and Business Owner

When I began building private practices more than 15 years ago, I didn’t have mentors to guide me in the business side of the healing profession.

Among therapists, there was often a half-joking belief: you were either good as a healer or good in business—but rarely both.

For many of us in the helping professions, business felt like a separate world. Something you figured out on your own while quietly hoping the work would sustain itself.

When I stepped into private practice on my own in 2014, I made a decision that became a turning point in my professional life. For the first time, I invested directly in my business by working with several therapists who had become business mentors and coaches.

What drew me to them was their perspective: they were intentionally building businesses as a feminine practice—one that honored intuition, purpose, and the rhythms of life rather than forcing ourselves into rigid models of productivity.

That investment helped me clarify who I was professionally and how to communicate my calling in a way that resonated with the clients I was meant to serve.

Looking back, that decision became its own rite of passage. The clarity and alignment it created in my work has returned that investment many times over.

Modern life rarely offers us these markers anymore. Instead, we are often expected to move through transitions silently, quickly, and efficiently.

This is especially true for women in business.

Many entrepreneurial models are built around constant growth, relentless productivity, and linear scaling. Yet for many female-identifying entrepreneurs, this model eventually creates burnout, creative stagnation, or a quiet sense of disconnection from the work that once felt meaningful.

But what if building a business could follow a different rhythm?

What if your business growth could unfold as a series of intentional rites of passage—each stage bringing its own challenges, insights, and transformation?

A Different Model of Business Growth for Women

Traditional business culture often treats success as a straight upward line. But many women experience their entrepreneurial journey in cycles and phases—much like the natural rhythms of creativity, the body, and the seasons of life.

These stages can be understood as rites of passage in business.

Initiation: The Calling

Every business begins with a moment of initiation.

An idea arrives. A deeper purpose begins to stir. You may feel excitement, inspiration, and also uncertainty about what comes next.

This stage asks for courage and trust. It is the threshold where identity begins to shift—from employee, helper, or dreamer into entrepreneur and creator.

Formation: Bringing the Vision to Life

During the formation stage, the business begins to take shape.

You develop your offerings, create structure, establish your brand, and begin working with early clients. This stage is often both exhilarating and vulnerable as your work becomes visible.

For many women entrepreneurs, this is also where self-doubt and visibility fears can arise. It is a powerful rite of passage that asks you to claim your voice and your expertise.

Expansion: Growth and Leadership

Eventually, the business begins to expand.

More clients arrive. Systems become necessary. The work grows beyond a single idea and becomes a living ecosystem.

At this stage, many entrepreneurs shift into deeper leadership and strategic thinking. It often brings new opportunities—but also increased responsibility and complexity.

Expansion is not simply about scaling income. It is about learning how to hold more impact, visibility, and authority in your field.

Reevaluation: The Entrepreneurial Threshold

Nearly every business owner eventually reaches a moment of reevaluation.

What once worked no longer feels aligned. The business may feel heavy, overextended, or creatively stale.

This stage can feel confusing or even frightening—but it is actually one of the most important rites of passage in entrepreneurship.

Reevaluation invites deeper questions:

What part of this work still feels alive?
What have I outgrown?
What direction is my work asking to evolve toward?

Rather than signaling failure, this stage often marks the beginning of a more authentic version of your business.

Integration and Renewal

From reevaluation comes renewal.

Sometimes renewal means refining your existing work. Sometimes it means evolving your services, shifting your niche, or redefining your leadership.

This stage integrates everything you have learned along the way—your skills, your intuition, your experience, and your values.

The business becomes less about following external formulas and more about embodying your own unique way of working and leading.

Listening to the Rhythms of the Body and Inner Compass

Many female entrepreneurs discover that their creative and professional energy moves in waves rather than straight lines.

Some seasons are expansive and outward-facing. Others call for rest, reflection, restructuring, or new visioning.

When these rhythms are ignored, business can begin to feel like a constant uphill push.

But when they are honored, something powerful happens: the business begins to flow with you rather than against you.

This might look like:

Designing work schedules that respect energy cycles
Allowing intentional pauses for strategic reflection
Letting intuition guide pivots and new offerings
Honoring life transitions such as motherhood, caregiving, health changes, or personal growth

Rather than interrupting your professional path, these experiences often deepen your leadership and clarity as a business owner.

The Emotional and Identity Shifts of Entrepreneurship

Business growth is not only strategic—it is deeply personal.

Each stage of entrepreneurship asks you to evolve internally:

claiming your expertise
navigating visibility and vulnerability
setting boundaries with clients and collaborators
redefining success on your own terms

These internal shifts are often the true rites of passage behind sustainable entrepreneurial growth.

When women entrepreneurs are supported through these transitions, their businesses tend to become more aligned, more sustainable, and more impactful.

Creating a Business That Evolves With You

A business created by a woman does not have to follow rigid, one-size-fits-all models of growth.

It can grow organically.

It can transform as you transform.

It can reflect your changing values, wisdom, boundaries, and creative cycles.

Rather than forcing yourself into a framework that was never designed for your lived experience, you can build a business that honors the natural stages of your own life and leadership.

In doing so, your work becomes more than a business.

It becomes an extension of your unfolding story.
