You’re a committed educator who begins each school year hopeful it will be different. By September your anxiety has already ramped up, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, with a sense of dread, stress & pressure. While you want to be loving your job, you often wonder why you’re putting yourself through this. It is so disheartening. You love working with young people & want to make a difference but how can you sustain when you’re already burnt out? You’re ready for a true change beyond new initiatives & pivoting focus areas. Most of all you’re ready for the anxiety spiral to stop so you can find joy in the journey & thrive. Let me help!

I specialize in working with educators struggling with anxiety, stress, burnout & school-related trauma. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who understands the many nuanced challenges in schools now. As a former teacher & school principal, I see the pressure you’re facing. In our sessions, I will hold space for you to laugh, cry & find peace.
I will meet you where you are on your unique journey. Together we can navigate all the hard things so that you don’t feel so overwhelmed. A life where you can love your job as an educator is possible. You can learn to navigate the stress & pressure in a way that is sustainable & affords you the quality life you deserve.
