Welcome, fellow therapists and mental health professionals.
If you’re navigating the day-to-day realities of therapy work—whether you’re in an agency, building a part-time practice, or juggling both—this space is for you. After 16+ years in the field, I know how draining it can be to hold space for others while trying to manage your own growth and well-being.
This page is where I share practical tools and resources I’ve personally used—or am actively exploring—that can make the work a little easier and a lot more sustainable.

Education That Fits Your Life
I’ve taken a few PESI courses over the years, and they’ve offered solid, practical value without fluff. I only recommend what I’ve personally found useful or feel confident exploring with you.

🧰 Tools & Resources I Use (or Trust)
This isn’t about promoting flashy practice systems I don’t use. These are simple, helpful resources that can support you whether you’re working in an agency, starting a side practice, or somewhere in between.
Current go-to’s and recommendations:
- TherapistAid Worksheets — I’ve used these in agency work, and they’re incredibly practical
- 🎓 PESI CEUs & Trainings — Continuing ed focused more on learning than selling software
- Practice of the Practice- If you’re building a private practice and want real-world tips, marketing support, and a like-minded community, this one’s a solid pick. I only wish I found it sooner.
- Books & Tools I Like or Use — Therapist-relevant reads via Amazon
- SimplePractice — Practice Management Made… well, simpler. If you’re launching or streamlining a private practice, this platform handles notes, billing, scheduling, secure messaging, and even telehealth—all in one place.
