Inspiration Entrepreneur
I'm so glad you're here!
I have been in independent practice as a psychologist in North Dakota since 2000. During this time, I have directed clinical training clinics, provided administration and business support to multiple psychology practices, supervised graduate students in their training to become clinicians, and provided hundreds of patients with empirically validated interventions.
Since 2014, I have been working in corporate America in Research and Development of technologies to bring behavioral healthcare interventions to market. In 2017, I began sharing my healthy lifestyle strategies with people interested in balanced living and diversified business.
As a result of these adventures, I am a published author, corporate trainer, presenter, consultant, and have a successful webinar series. I’ve worked with thousands of professionals to better their perspecirves, ignite their missions, and to implement empirically based strategies. Increasing belief, confidence, and action toward their goals of bringing meaningful value to those they serve.
When I first started out after graduate school, the business-side of practice was super frustrating.
First, payment for treatment was one of those ‘uncomfortable conversations’ with patients, and having support staff who navigated those transactions distanced a provider from the conversation. This was much more comfortable for the provider, but not helpful in learning the ropes of the business-side of a practice. This same thing was strangely true in corporate collaborations. Discussing the budget (the exchange of money and how much) came last in the conversation, yet this is essentially one of the most important foundations of any business or working relationship! Discovering how to grow in a service industry, to be able to deliver meaningful, high-value service, and not with numbers and dollar signs as the looming elephant in the conversation has been transformational.
Learning about finances, how to embrace comfortable and expected conversations, as well as how to teach others to do the same, became part of my training curriculum. More broadly, learning about how our personal growth can make business more comfortable and teaching others strategies for their leadership and development paths has become a focus for my career. Helping others live healthy abundant lives, to dream big, and shine bright… this is my passion!
