You’ve been the rescuer, the caregiver, the rock for years, and it’s finally taking its toll on you. You’ve learned to hide your fatigue and your pain really well. In fact, you’d be surprised if anyone knew how much you really struggle and how your thoughts race at night when the world is quiet. Words like “weak” or “not fit for duty” push you to burrow down further into your isolation. But wha...

I am a Baby Boomer. I realize I have probably lived three-quarters of my life, during which I have experienced most of the situations one can experience throughout one's life. I still have a positive outlook on the time I have left, and I want all of my generation to feel that their presence on this earth has made a difference. I have counseled families who promised to "never put Mom in a nursi...

We all experience seasons in life that require guidance and support. As you are managing these transitions, feelings of discomfort and anxiety naturally arise. This magnifies stress and contributes to a sense of disconnection from yourself and those you love. If this is your story, please know that you are not alone. Together, we can find a sense of peace, even within your most painful...

Asking for help can be hard. Finding a trustworthy person to ask for help can be even harder. The weight of depression and/or anxiety can leave you too exhausted to search for a safe person. An unhealthy relationship may have you too afraid to risk reaching out to someone. It would be my honor to serve as that safe, trustworthy person for you. I will work to create a space filled with compassio...
