Hi there! I'm a financial planner for therapists! I help therapists navigate every element of their financial lives and make financial decisions with ease and confidence – both in your practice and your personal life.
Let’s talk religion & politics!

Hello Reader, I’m not religious. I don’t go to church. I suppose I might consider myself spiritual – but some days I‘m not even so sure about that. 😆 If anything, life experiences have taught me to wary of religion. (A story for another time.) And yet some of the closest friends I’ve made in the last few years ARE deeply religious. I’ve found them to be some of the kindest, most accepting, supportive and thoughtful folks I know. Which is why I’m excited to be both sponsoring and speaking at the Wise Practice Summit this October 3-5th in Charlotte, NC. If you consider faith to be a part of how you run your practice, this conference might be just the opportunity for you! Your personal values are essential in defining the right business plan AND financial plan for you. And if your faith is important to you, it almost certainly should be integrated into how you build your practice, how you structure your financial plan and how you invest your money. If you register by March 1st (this Friday!!) you will save $100 off your registration. ⏰This event is hosted by my friend Whitney Owens who specializes in throwing a fun and informative summit. She has also been known to rap when opening her events, so you don’t want to miss out. (Yes, this is for serious.) To grab all the details and save your spot, click here! There are more details about the summit below my signature. 👇 (I know I didn’t get around to talking politics; that’s probably coming later this year. 😬) Best, The summit is at the Grand Bohemian Hotel, located in the heart of Charlotte's business district. The Argentinian-influenced Marriott hotel rooms and luxury amenities aren't the only thing that drew me to this hotel. The art and cultural design elements make it one of a kind. Not to mention, the restaurants in and around this hotel are electric.

Hello Reader, I like to think I pay pretty close attention to things like inflation. But it floored me recently when I found out inflation over the last six years has been 28%. I’ll repeat that for everyone in the back. 28%. Yup, that’s correct. Not a typo. You can check it out for yourself here. That’s kind of nuts. We tend to think of inflation as background noise — a little high one year, a little low the next, mostly irrelevant to the actual decisions we’re making. But 28% over six years...
Hello Reader, Two things I genuinely enjoy in my free time (which may say something about me): reading Buddhist books… and listening to investing podcasts. Recently, those two worlds collided in a way that really stuck with me. I’ve been re-reading The Wisdom of No Escape by Pema Chödrön. One of the core ideas she explores is that we often try to escape discomfort — and that doing so isn’t all that wise. It isn’t that the things we use to distract ourselves are inherently bad. It’s that they...
Hi Reader, If you’re a practice owner (or self-employed in any way), I’m guessing this sounds familiar: “I don’t really have time for a conference.” “The money feels hard to justify.” “I’m not sure the ROI is actually there.” I have that same reaction all the time. Getting on a plane. ✈️ Staying in a hotel. 🏨 Stepping away from work that already feels endless. 😥 It almost never feels like the right time. And yet — some of the most meaningful insights I’ve had about my business never would...
