🎓 Save the Date! 2025 Financial Therapy Externship 🎓
For therapists ready to go deeper — and bring money into the healing process.

You already see it in your sessions:
💭 Clients fighting about spending, avoiding their finances, feeling shame they can’t name.
💭 Money shows up in trauma, identity, power, safety, and relationships.
💭 And yet... most therapists were never trained to address it.

That changes here.

The Financial Therapy Clinical Institute Externship is a two-day immersive training for licensed mental health professionals who want to confidently integrate financial therapy into their clinical work — with depth, nuance, and clarity.

Whether you're supporting individuals, couples, or families, this training equips you to work skillfully with:
💡 Financial trauma and shame
💡 Money conflicts and avoidant patterns
💡 Values-based money work in therapy
💡 The deeper emotional and relational dynamics underneath every dollar

🗓️ Dates: October 16–17, 2025
💻 Format: 100% online (so you can join from anywhere)
✅ Next Step: Fill out a short interest form — we’ll follow up with a quick 10-minute call to walk you through what to expect and help you decide if it’s a fit.

If you’ve ever thought:

“This is coming up in therapy... and I don’t feel equipped to hold it.”
This externship is your next move.

Let’s give you the tools to meet clients where it really matters — in the full emotional and relational reality of money.

✨ Make money human.
✨ Make your practice whole.

This year I gave myself the challenge of reading a book each month based on the houses of astrology. The book for this month, September, is centered on the 9th house themes, which include philosophy, big picture, the mind, and travel. The Sunny Nihilist: A Declaration of the Pleasure of Pointlessness by Wendy Syfret has been the perfect book for this! It has been on my tbr list for a while and it's been a really fascinating book to read.

What does philosophy have to do with money?? Well, how we relate to money has everything to do with how we view ourselves, our purpose, and our values -- which all stem from our philosophical worldview. What you believe about your purpose in life greatly affects how you receive, spend, and invest money (and other resources).

Have you read The Sunny Nihilist? What did you think?

One of the most vulnerable conversations I've had so far, and one of the richest!

I share about my own journey to reclaim myself and my agency in life and the unique lens that I bring to my work as a financial therapist.

Check out my interview with holistic money coach Diana Yañez on the Highly Sensitive Money Podcast ♾️💜

This year I'm challenging myself to read a book each month based on the houses of astrology. For the month of August I'm focusing on the 8th house, whose themes include death, transformation, and shared resources. So, for this month I decided to (re)read the book When Time Is Short: Finding Our Way in the Anthropocene by Timothy Beal. I read this book last year and it was one of the most profound books I've read. I'm curious to see what stands out for me this time.

Also, I gave myself permission to take a break from this challenge during June and July. Just a reminder that if you need to grant yourself permission to take a break on a challenge, I want you to know that you are allowed to do that! Life is not linear, and you are allowed to reassess and take breaks if you need to.

Want to join me in reading this book? Get ready to dive into the big picture/macro-level ideas around life, death, money, and humanity and how we interact with it all.

I'm challenging myself to read a book each month based on the houses of astrology. The month of May (5th house) is a theme that I've been really looking forward to! The 5th house themes include creativity, play, s3x and pleasure. After much deliberation (there are so many books on these topics that I want to read!) I decided on Rick Rubin's book The Creative Act: A Way of Being.

Did you know that your relationship with money can and should include playfulness, creativity, and pleasure? What's one way you bring these themes into your money relationship? Share below!

One of the main things that stands out to me from this past year is just how uncomfortable it is to show up authentically. It is hard, difficult work. To continually and intentionally expose myself and my beliefs to the world; while balancing both the confidence of knowing that I have something valuable to share, and the vulnerability of being aware that I don’t know what I don’t know. To give myself permission to try things and be messy, while being terrified of rejection and failure.

It’s the most awkward, uncomfortable practice that I’ve experienced. And it’s been AMAZING.

It’s been the uncomfortable practice of showing up, exercising my self-trust, and exposing more and more of myself and my unique voice that has been the catalyst for such a huge amount of growth over this year. 🌱

It has been a whole year since I launched my business as a financial therapist and coach! 🥳 This week is pretty significant for me personally and professionally as I celebrate my birthday AND the birthday of my business.

Some of my intentions from the beginning of March 2023:
🌱 Show up and exist as my big, authentic self
🌱 Prioritize aligned action and authenticity over perfection
🌱 Prioritize beauty in every area of life
🌱 Build community and make friends
🌱 Bring in an income

There has been so much growth and expansion! It's so profound to see how these intentions have come true. Some of the highlights of this past year:

✅ Started my own business and “officially” became an entrepreneur
✅ Spread awareness of financial therapy through presenting and being featured in several podcasts and publications
✅ Created and facilitated my first financial therapy group (The Money Relationship Makeover)
✅ Attended the FTA Conference and 2023
✅ Saw my first several clients “graduate” from therapy
✅ Generated $36,000 in revenue and have been able to pay myself regularly since August
✅ Joined the Trauma of Money community and found my professional homebase
✅ Connected with so many other passionate, heart-centered healers and change-makers in both the financial world and the mental health world

I can't wait to see what this next year will bring!
