Certified Professional Coach
I started my first business in 2016, a solo mental health practice in Portland, Oregon. Within a few years it was generating seven figures. By 2024 I had a team of 25, including therapists, social workers, nurse practitioners, and an acupuncturist. In 2025, I sold it to a Fortune 500 company.
I was energized by my team and the work we were doing in our community. As we continued to grow, I learned through trial and error and ultimately became very clear that more structured support for me, the leader, was necessary.
I found the right coach at the right time - Kris Plachy. She spoke a language I understood in a way that others hadn't. She helped me build the structures my business was missing and gave me the support to actually use them. The momentum of my business became exponential.
Now I bring that same combination to my clients. Nearly two decades as a licensed therapist, and the lived experience of scaling and selling a business. I know what it's like to be in your seat.
My clients tell me they feel seen. I lead with kindness and genuine curiosity about your experience, but I'm not a blank canvas. If I notice something, I'll say it. If I have a direct insight or a hard question, I'll ask it.
If that's the kind of support you've been looking for, you're in the right place.
In addition to business coaching and consulting, I continue to offer individual and couples therapy. I am a licensed therapist in California, Oregon, Arizona, and Ohio, and a Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist - one of the most extensively researched approaches to couples work available.
*Oregon therapy clients must live 25 miles outside of Portland.
