therapy for parents, caregivers, and families experiencing illness

When someone you love is living with cancer, a chronic illness, or another serious medical condition, it affects the entire family. Caregivers and loved ones often find themselves balancing countless responsibilities while managing worry, grief, uncertainty, and the pressure to stay strong for everyone else.

Therapy offers a space that's just for you. Together, we'll process the emotional impact of caregiving, navigate changing family dynamics, develop healthy coping strategies, and prioritize your own well-being, so that you do not have to carry it all.

SUPPORT FOR:

  • Parents of children or teens living with cancer, chronic illness, or medical needs

  • Parents facing difficult conversations with children

  • Managing difficult and changing family dynamics, increasing communication and support in the family

  • Navigating changes in routine and schedules through illness, maintaining consistency

  • Processing fear, grief, guilt, anxiety and helplessness

*In addition to cancer, I have experience in supporting children, adolescents, young adults and families experiencing chronic medical conditions such as muscular dystrophy, ALS, chronic migraines, cerebral palsy, fibromyalgia, celiac disease, diabetes, Crohn’s disease, food intolerances and unknown chronic illness.
