Coming Soon:
Mental Health Support for Education Professionals
Do you work in the public education system and find yourself burned out and wondering if you can continue in your career for another school year?
Do you find yourself having nightmares about school violence, testing standards, observations, IEPs, or all of the other tasks put on your plate that exceed your capacity to complete within a 40 hour work week?
Do you work as a leader in education and find yourself struggling to know how to support your team in ways that once worked, but now feel like they are bordering on “toxic positivity’"?
Is your soul tired of witnessing the ways that public education is discussed in the hallways of the internet where teachers, educators, principals, support staff, and others are degraded for needing to take sick-time to attend to their own well-being to continue working?
Is your heart committed to public education, but your mind and body are struggling to navigate the post-2020 landscape of public education?
I’ve been there, I am there.
I want to be there for you.
Coming Fall 2023, I’ll be launching an online support network for Education Professionals with an email newsletter, virtual support groups, and regular workshops to provide professional development and personal support for those of us who’ve dedicated our professional career to helping raise and tend to the next generation.

I’ve worked for nearly a decade as a School Social Worker in the Portland, Oregon Metropolitan area.
I launched an online Private Practice in 2022 after completing the requirements to become a Clinical Social Worker alongside my School Social Worker Credentials.
Most recently, I worked for 4.5 years as a High School Social Worker supporting a student population of 1,600.
I spent the last half of the 2022-23 school year as a District Social Worker helping coach, support, and guide a team of nearly 40 Social Workers and Counselors in a District experiencing the highest rates of youth homelessness, higher than average drop/pushout rates, and -unfortunately- leadership turnover that resulted in my position being eliminated after the 2022-23 school year.
I wasn’t planning to pivot away from full-time School Social Work just yet, but the universe has granted me an opportunity to lead, guide, mentor, and offer mental health support from outside the system.
In the moonlight, I operate a private practice Mental Health Therapist serving clients in Oregon, Washington, Florida, and (soon) Tennessee.
I am highly experienced in navigating the nuance of supporting oneself while supporting a workload that is unfeasible even for the workaholics within us.
This fall, I’ll be expanding my private practice and launching a nonprofit focused on Neurodivergence and Educator Support in a post-2020 world.
