Counselling for Professors & Students
"We, academics, should talk to each other more about how we actually spend our time, with all the anxieties, displacements, and failures that involves” – Maggie Berg

Academia can be stressful, but you don't have to struggle alone
​
Are you a university professor, new grad, or a grad student who wants to learn sustainable ways of maintaining life-work balance, renew or foster your passion for teaching and research, or discover who you are beyond academia?
​
Is one or more of the following standing in your way of enjoying your life?
​
-
anxiety, depression
-
burnout
-
lack of life-work balance
-
finishing your dissertation
-
job search or sessional teaching
-
publication-related stress
-
relationships with colleagues or administration
-
stress from teaching difficult material (politics, climate change, racism, etc.)
-
tenure track or promotion stress and anxiety
-
post-academic career exploration or transition
​​
If any of these apply to you, counselling with me can help you feel better and thrive.

Get support from an insider
​
Non-academics don't always understand the unique stressors and pressures of being a university professor, a new grad on the job market, or a grad student struggling to finish their thesis.
​
Counselling is my second career. My first and ongoing career is a university professor. I've been in academia for almost two decades, first as a student and then as a faculty, and understand what it's like to be a part of this world.
