All About My Approach

You've spent so long being the one who shows up for your kids, your aging parents, your family, whoever needed you that somewhere along the way, "how are you doing?" became a question you stopped answering honestly.

Maybe you stopped even hearing it.

Here’s what I want to tell every caregiver:

A woman and a young girl among white roses in a garden, with trees in the background. The woman is kissing the girl on the cheek, and both are smiling.

Therapy isn't about the person you're caring for.
It’s about you.

Your stress, your guilt, your exhaustion, the parts of yourself you've quietly set aside because someone else's needs always seemed to matter more: these are things we handle together.

I’m passionate about providing therapy for people who know what it's like to be "fine" in front of everyone because falling apart isn't really an option when people are depending on you.

You know- the guilt that shows up the second you finally sit down, and the strange grief of realizing you don't quite recognize yourself outside of taking care of everyone else.

You may fall into one of these scenarios:

  • Outline of a lotus flower in white lines on a dark pink, irregularly shaped background.

    you're a parent who loves your kids but...

    still lies awake wondering if you're getting any of it right, carrying a low hum of guilt no one else can see.

  • Neon outline of a flower with petals, inside a semi-circular shape with a scalloped yellow border.

    you're caring for an aging parent...

    or a family member who's sick, doing the quiet, unglamorous work of showing up again and again, with very little acknowledgment.

    you've realized you can't remember...

    the last time someone asked how you were doing (and actually waited around for the real answer).

I offer my parent and caregiver clients not just textbook and training, but lived experience

So when we work together, you're not getting a lecture on self-care from someone who's never skipped their own doctor's appointment because someone else needed her more. You're getting someone who's been there, who isn't going to hand you one more thing to add to an already-too-long list, and who genuinely means it when she says:

“You matter here, too.”

Reach out for therapy

If any of these sentiments about parenthood and caregiving sound familiar, you're not selfish for needing something for yourself, and you're not alone in feeling like you disappeared somewhere along the way.

This is where you get to show back up: by coming to therapy as you are.
