Therapy for Entrepreneurs, Creatives, & Small Business Owners

Serving entrepreneurs and small business owners virtually across the states of New York, New Jersey, and Florida.

Success From The Ground Up

You built your business from the ground up. But who's taking care of you as you build?

As a small business owner, coach, or creative professional, you're used to wearing all the hats. You thrive on turning visions into reality and helping others succeed. But beneath that capable exterior, you might be feeling:

  • Overwhelmed by the constant pressure to perform and deliver

  • Isolated in your role as a leader, with few people who truly understand

  • Caught in an endless cycle of hustle that's affecting your mental health & wellbeing

  • Struggling to maintain boundaries between work and personal life

  • Wrestling with imposter syndrome despite your achievements

Why Entrepreneurs & Creatives Need Specialized Support

Building a business isn't just about strategy and spreadsheets – it's an emotional journey that can trigger unexpected challenges. Whether you're a solopreneur navigating isolation, a creative professional battling burnout, or a coach/consultant/service provider building your practice from the ground up, you need someone who understands both the business and personal sides of your journey.

And let’s also be honest here. A lot of entrepreneurs and small business owners start their own business not only because they have a vision for something great, but also because they made the choice to break an unhealthy cycle. Sometimes that means leaving a toxic workplace, starting over after childhood trauma, ending the constant stress about not having enough money, or no longer wanting to be at the mercy of someone else for their professional and financial advancement. But here’s the thing. If you don’t actually work and process the toxic things you pushed you to take the leap into entrepreneurship, it will show up in your life and your business no matter what you do. It will catch up to you.

 
“You’ve worked so hard to have it all, only to realize that having it all means nothing if you’ve lost yourself in the process. ”
 
 

Signs You May Need Support as a Business Owner or Creative

You might be struggling with some of these:

  • No true sense of work-life balance because you’re rarely truly able to "clock out"

  • Analysis paralysis or overthinking every business move

  • Difficulty trusting team members or delegating responsibilities

  • Physical manifestations of stress (migraines, tension, digestive issues)

  • Feeling disconnected from your creative spark or business vision

  • Imposter syndrome despite doing really well

  • Panic or anxiety around finances

  • Failed business ideas or launches that shake your confidence

  • Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and setting boundaries

  • Losing your sense of self in pursuit of business success

  • Isolation & relationship strain because the people closest to you simply don’t get the demands of entrepreneurship

  • Burnout from constant innovation & client delivery

Why Work With Me

Here's what you should know: I'm not just a therapist. I’m also an entrepreneur. Like you, I've built something from the ground up. I know firsthand what it's like to wear all the hats, feel the weight of responsibility, and navigate the unique challenges of being a business owner and creative professional.

For over a decade, I've walked alongside hundreds of entrepreneurs, coaches, and creatives on their growth journeys. Yes, I've got the PhD and specialized training in EMDR, IFS, and coaching certifications (and I love ALL of those things) but what my clients value most is that I truly get it. I understand the late-night anxiety, the weight of decisions, and the constant balance between vision and reality.

I create a space where you can bring your whole story – the successful launches and the failed experiments, the public wins and the private doubts – without fear of judgment. No hustle culture toxic positivity, no "just push harder" mentality. Instead, you'll find steady support and genuine understanding from someone who's been in your shoes.

Whether you're dealing with imposter syndrome, entrepreneurial burnout, or challenges you're not even sure "count" as therapy-worthy (spoiler: they do), we'll move at whatever pace feels right for you. Think of me as your strategic partner in mental wellness – someone who combines professional expertise with real-world entrepreneurial experience.

Invest in Your Most Valuable Business Asset: You

Think about what unprocessed stress and burnout are really costing your business. Each day, opportunities slip away to decision paralysis and imposter syndrome, while creativity stalls under perfectionism's weight. Your vision for growth stays just out of reach, capped by an underlying fear of scaling.

Now imagine investing in yourself the way you invest in your business. Operating from clarity instead of stress changes everything. Your decision-making sharpens, team dynamics flourish, and client relationships deepen through authentic confidence. Creative innovation flows naturally, and sustainable growth becomes truly possible. Best of all? You discover what it feels like to thrive in both business and life, not just survive them.
