School Personnel

Serving School Personnel in Central Ohio and virtually throughout the state of Ohio.

It’s not what you thought it would be. Summers off sounded nice but now the school year drags on and you’re ready to pack up your classroom. School shootings, teaching to the test, professional development days where you don’t actually learn anything, new admin every year making changes, being volunteer to run a club, grading tests at your kids soccer game. Students mental health is in the gutter, yours isn’t uch better. You’re stressed over sending kids home to houses with limited or no resources. And you’re starting to regret picking teaching as. profession, thinking you should have done accounting like your dad told you.

How I Can Supporting School Personnel

1. Understanding Your Role:

As educators, administrators, or support staff, your role comes with its own set of triumphs and challenges. I work with the complexities of working in an academic environment.

2. Managing Stress and Burnout:

The demands of the education sector can be overwhelming. Session topics are tailored to help you manage stress, prevent burnout, and foster a healthy work-life balance.

3. Navigating Professional Relationships:

Building effective relationships with colleagues, students, and parents is integral to your role. Sessions can be focused on navigating professional dynamics, conflict resolution, and effective communication.

4. Coping with Student Challenges:

Witnessing the diverse challenges students face can take an emotional toll. As a trauma therapist, I can assist you in coping with the emotional aspects of supporting students through various difficulties.

5. Career Transitions and Advancement:

Whether you're considering a career transition, seeking professional development, or aiming for advancement, I’ll meet you where you’re at.
