So 2024, let's say what was happening with your private practice? What was your day to day like at that time?

Sure, can I rewind a little bit? So some people may or may not know that I, therapy is kind of my second career, third career, I don't know.

What do you wanna call it? So I got my degree in marriage and family therapy in 2016, but didn't study for licensure until COVID because between 2016 after graduation and 2020, I was on tour with a musical touring the country.

And, and then COVID hit, shows closed down, and I thought, I should probably use my therapy degree now.

So studied for licensure and thought immediately, well, I have to work for somebody to get, you know, what the gazillion hours you need for, for independent licensure.

So I started working for a mental health company, I will not name it.

in here in arizona and got all my hours as quickly as possible which took me a little over two years i started working for them in september of 2020 left in august of 2023 so two and a half years i worked for them to get my hours um and then i was independently licensed and i was like sayonara so i left and i knew i wanted to be in private practice so opened up my own private practice, but immediately got on all the insurance panels because I thought, you know, that's what you do.

I needed to hear.
