What is your personal mission? Mine is to transform the culture of mental health from the inside out by eliminating therapist burnout for good. This is how I'm accomplishing it:

1. Compassionate Counseling

As the founder and director of Unleashed Counseling, I'm fortunate to work with a handful of clients who have invited me to join them on their mental health journey. Together with my therapy dogs, Benji and Clover, we provide therapy for therapists, teachers, and other helping-professionals.

2. Expert Supervision

Through the Path to Licensure, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Jena Ostrowski, and I teamed up to create a supervision program unlike any other. By integrating professional development into the supervisory process, we are helping early-career clinicians transform into confident, successful, licensed therapists. Whether your goal is to own a private practice or run your own agency, let us guide you through the complex process of licensure and help you set the stage for a wildly successful career.

3. Sustainable Self-Care

Self-care goes far beyond bubble baths and massages (although those are great!) In order to support your long-term mental health goals, self-care must be both a sustainable set of habits and a mindset. Read my book, Unconditional, and stay tuned for a comprehensive self-care program offered through Unleashed Counseling.
