Carrying emotional weight of students while neglecting your own needs? As an educator, you manage classroom demands, administrative pressures, and student crises while your wellbeing takes a backseat. Having been a school counselor across K-12 spaces, I understand your challenges. With doctorate-level experience, I help educators transform obstacles into growth opportunities. My approach combines CBT techniques with compassion-focused therapy tailored for education professionals. We'll develop strategies to navigate workplace stress, set sustainable boundaries, and reconnect with your passion for teaching while building resilience.
My practice offers a supportive environment for educators navigating professional challenges and life transitions. Drawing from experience in school systems, my approach balances attentive listening with thoughtful challenges at key moments. I accept insurance and welcome private-pay clients seeking more personalized care options for their unique situations.
Many delay seeking support because they prioritize others first. While my background positions me to support education professionals, I welcome anyone who resonates with this approach. Imagine bringing your best self to work and home. Take that first step today—schedule a conversation that could transform how you experience both your career and life.
