As a former teacher and current member of the Ontario College of Teachers, I understand the deep care and responsibility that educators bring to their work — and how emotionally exhausting that can become. Teaching today often means managing too much — larger class sizes, fewer supports, emotionally struggling students, and pressure that never ends. Many of the teachers I work with describe feeling drained, anxious, or simply disconnected from the sense of purpose that once brought them into education. Therapy can offer a space to pause, process, and reconnect with what matters most — your own wellbeing. You can’t pour from empty.
My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based. I also integrate creative and relational approaches through Love Loops, a framework for understanding connection and healing in relationships. I’m currently developing a Love Loops Workbook for Teachers, and have published a high school guide to help students create Love Loops groups in their own classroom
Sessions are available online across Ontario and in-person in downtown Toronto (near Wellesley and Sherbourne stations). Most insurance plans that include Registered Psychotherapists provide coverage. If you’re ready to slow down, reflect, and reclaim balance, I’d be honoured to help.

Teachers often work in emotionally demanding systems. My Relational approach supports recovery from stress, burnout, and relational harm — including emotional immaturity, often called narcissism. Together we build safety, awareness, and healthy boundaries that restore connection and professional confidence.
