Therapy for family caregivers and older adults
In-person in Montclair, NJ and online across the state of New Jersey.
Sound familiar?
You’re on the phone with your aging parent, who can’t remember whether they’ve taken their pills for the day, when your kid texts you that they need a ride home from school. And, somehow, you forgot to eat lunch.
You’re tired of always doing for others.
You feel a sense of guilt whenever you try to carve out a tiny bit of time for yourself.
Each time the phone rings, you tense up, wondering what new problem is coming next.
The mental load and constant decision-making is too much.
With each new loss, change, medical diagnosis, it can feel like your world is shrinking.
You can let your guard down and be present in this moment.

I help caregivers manage anxiety and depression.
As someone who has been in the caregiving role over and over again - I get it and I see you. We’ll find strategies together to help you set boundaries, communicate effectively, take time for yourself without guilt, and process all of the feelings.
