Education professionals, I intentionally and wholeheartedly hold space for you. The challenges and even barriers to show up in instructional environments are vast. Sometimes, they are also internal. Perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and people pleasing are just a few daily battles often faced as you navigate the many hats you balance in your professional and personal lives. Prioritizing a time for you to process your experiences can start in your own home. Virtual therapy can provide that safe space needed for processing, exploring, and nurturing our compassionate selves to combat the demands of the day.

Do you feel the need to share your thoughts but hesitate to confide in friends or family? Are relationship issues, the loss of a loved one, parenting challenges, the transition to an "empty nester" phase, or the aftermath of divorce causing you distress? If you've responded affirmatively to any of these life stressors, consider letting me guide you towards the path of mental fitness.
