Strategic EPPP support for psychologists who want to save time, money, and avoid costly mistakes
My EPPP Storyand why i do this differently
I provide tutoring, coaching, and study support for psychologists preparing for the EPPP. This work is educational and strategic in nature and is not therapy, psychological treatment, or a guarantee of passing. My role is to help you study more effectively, make informed decisions, and reduce unnecessary trial-and-error in the process.
I share my EPPP story because it directly informs how I support repeat test-takers today.
I passed the EPPP in May 2019… after eight attempts and 2.5 years of relentless effort, heartbreak, regrouping, going into double digit debt investing in this process, learning from my mistakes, and resilience.
For a long time, I felt ashamed of that.
I told myself I must not be smart enough, or that something was wrong with my brain.
I carried that belief quietly, convinced everyone else had it easier than me.
Here’s what changed when I started talking about it:
SO MANY AMAZING, BRILLIANT, BADASS psychologists struggle just like this, they’re just not talking about it.
Different circumstances, same pressure.
Same fear.
Same isolation.
Same belief that “everyone else gets it except me.”
Once the exam was behind me, the truth landed hard:
My attempts weren’t failures.
They were data.
They were preparation.
They gave me the empathy, strategy, and clarity that now shape how I support EPPP clients.
My story isn’t about struggling.
It’s about not giving up, figuring out what works when nothing else does, and helping you do the same.
If you’ve had multiple attempts, close calls, or soul-crushing fails and are still showing up, you are exactly the kind of FUTURE EPPP Champion I LOVE working with!
Passing the EPPP didn’t magically make everything better for me.
Months later, I realized how much anger, grief, and exhaustion the process had left in my body; the cost, the silence, the shame, the years it consumed.
So I built what I wish I’d had:
A supportive community for multiple-attempt test takers: a place to vent, ask questions, share without shame or judgment, celebrate small wins, and stop feeling “behind.”
Then people started asking:
“Do you tutor?”
“Do you coach?”
“I want you on my EPPP support team.”
I said yes once.
They passed.
And I’ve said yes ever since.
What I kept seeing:
Visual learning works
Clear structure works
Mnemonics work
Accountability works
Neurodivergent-affirming approaches matter
These aren’t hacks. They’re the same strategies that helped me pass. Now, I support hundreds of future and fellow badass psychologists through tutoring, coaching, workshops, visual packets, and community support and I wouldn’t change a thing.
I didn’t become an EPPP Champion because I passed easily.
I became one because I didn’t.

It’s data.

You are not behind. You are recalibrating.
-
Yes.
Because this is educational support, not therapy I can work with psychologists across the United States and internationally.
There are no PSYPACT or state licensure restrictions for tutoring or coaching services.
-
I do not provide formal psychological evaluations or accommodation documentation through this service.
If you believe you may qualify for testing accommodations, I can help you think through next steps and point you toward appropriate resources.
-
It depends on your timeline and goals.
Some clients work with me for a few weeks leading up to their exam. Others choose ongoing support over several months, especially after repeat attempts.
Your plan is tailored to your starting point, content gaps, and test date.

Sessions can be paid session-by-session or monthly via Venmo or Zelle.
Once payment is completed, you’ll receive your Google Meet link and we begin.

If you need clarity on logistics before committing, just email me and we’ll talk it through.
-
