Amanda

I am a former teacher with 17 years experience in New York City Public Schools and Chicago Public Schools. I provide professional mental health services to educators as both a fellow teacher and a therapist. My teaching experience and social work training has prepared me to understand the overwhelming stress, unrealistic expectations, and high-stakes responsibility of being a teacher in this current environment. I provide more than just self-care to educators and people who nurture children. I will listen to educators' concerns and issues and work with them to alleviate stress and anxiety, create balance, and improve classroom culture. I have teaching experience and a passion for providing professional care and support to teachers.  I have spent time in schools working collaboratively with educators to improve relationships, reflect on teaching practices, and create spaces in which people love to work.
