    Caregiving In Chronic Illness

    My in depth understanding of chronic illness allows me to help understand caregiver needs as well. In addition to your more typical caregiver relationships, I understand the needs of young caregiving spouses as well. We can focus on how to take care of yourself while caring for another, process grief, and help you feel fulfilled.

    Parenting

    The adjustment to parenthood is so significant and often is a catalyst for identifying areas of growth for yourself, processing the way you were raised by your parents, and seeing the need for your own support. The decision to begin therapy as a parent can be life changing for you and your family.
