Mental health PR & marketing guided by empathy (and a DSM in the drawer) since 2015.

I used to be a psychotherapist, but after years of graduate education and clinical work, I realized something was missing. My real passion lived at the intersection of mental health and writing. I left my practice and started freelancing when I discovered a passion and a talent for mental health writing. I also began freelancing as a public relations specialist and discovered a love for that, as well.

A few years later, it clicked: I could do more for mental health businesses than just write. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in marketing, on notable teams, including Sony’s, so I understand exactly how strategy, storytelling, and design come together to move people.

Then I spotted a big gap: there are some “mental-health-focused” marketing & PR agencies, but virtually zero with real clinical understanding or experience. Most are “digital marketers.” Therapists and behavioral-health brands deserve a partner who truly understands the ethics, language, and lived realities of care.

So in 2021, I launched Priceless Copy and built a badass, values-driven team. We provide mental health public relations, content, and social media marketing for therapists that are clinically accurate, trauma-aware, and conversion-focused.
