How to Prevent Burnout: A 4 Step Guide for Workers and Social Change Makers Everywhere

In my work as a Registered Psychologist, I work with people who are experiencing burnout on a regular basis. I see people who are emotionally exhausted, losing hope, and feeling disconnected from the things they used to care about. I wanted to find a way to share what I know with a larger number of people, and I also wanted to be mindful of the fact that it can be hard to carve out time to focus on your mental health these days. In this mini-course, I go over 4 steps to preventing burnout. These steps are absolutely foundational to the work I do every day. It's what I share with clients in the therapy room, and it's how I manage to do the work I continue to do every day.

Through a series of short videos you can complete within an hour, you'll learn all about the signs you're burning out and how you can make sure to take those signs seriously.
​
I believe everyone deserves at least an hour for themselves, especially with all we give to our work, and families, and our communities. So please, give yourself that time. This world needs more people who are sustained, grounded, and connected to their aliveness. It can start here.

Boundaries 101


Struggling with resentment, exhaustion, and burnout? It may be time to set a boundary!

This free 20 minute webinar will walk you through just what a boundary is and isn't. I'll provide some examples of how we can respect our limits and offer some ideas of how you might begin working on boundaries in a self-compassionate way.

I have offered many versions of this workshop over the years, ranging from 20 minutes to an hour. In this version of my "Boundaries 101" workshop, I give examples that are specific to living in a time of physical distancing and try to answer common questions that come up around how to deal when your family or friends' boundaries are different than yours.

Mental Health Workshops

I regularly offer 1-hr workshops on self-care (from a feminist perspective), self-compassion, and navigating caregiving relationships. These run a couple times a year - and the best way to stay updated is by joining my newsletter.

When requested, I can offer a wide range of workshops for helping professionals, on topics such as boundaries and burnout, working with LGBTQ* clients, understanding domestic violence, sexual violence and consent, self care, and suicide.

I also offer community-based Body Mapping workshops, where we create life-size body maps created by working in pairs. This is a chance to explore our own relationship with our bodies, the strength it holds, and to critically examine the unhelpful the messages it is surrounded by. Empowering and nurturing, this workshop includes individual art making process and group based dialogue in a safe, nurturing, and nonjudgmental environment.

I'd love to give you the chance to get to know me more before jumping into a group experience. One of the best ways to do that (in addition to making your way through all the resources I've posted right here on the website) is by signing up for my newsletter to get a better sense of who I am and what to expect with me.

As a thank you for signing up, you'll receive a free copy of "5 Beliefs to Support You in Setting Boundaries". From there, I send out emails about a dozen times a year with handy guides I've created, information about the latest groups and workshops I'm offering, news about community resources, and a curated collection of the best articles and resources related to mental health from a feminist counselling perspective.
