Caregiver Support
You’re doing your best for them. But who is looking out for you?
Whether you are caring for an aging parent, supporting a spouse through a diagnosis, or managing a loved one’s affairs from across the country, caregiving is often an "invisible second job." It’s exhausting, it’s emotional, and it usually comes without a manual. Caregiver burnout is real. I’m here to help ease your overwhelm.
I provide the logistical strategy and emotional steadiness you need to navigate this season without losing yourself in the process.
When You’re Too Overwhelmed as a Caregiver to Know the First Step
Caregiving isn't just about physical tasks; it’s about the constant decision fatigue. Should we look at assisted living? Where is the Power of Attorney? How do I talk to my siblings without it turning into a fight?
I act as your logistical anchor. I help you stop reacting to every fire and start moving through a plan.
Emotional Support & Advocacy: I provide the "doula presence" in your corner - someone to process the hard emotions with so you can show up for your loved one with more clarity.
Triage & Priority Management: We create a "Now, Next, Later" list. I help you offload the mental burden of "what am I forgetting?" by building a system that remembers for you.
How I Support Caregivers
1. Managing the Emotional Tax
Caregiving is heavy. I provide a non-judgmental space to process the fear, guilt, and exhaustion that come with this role. By addressing the emotional weight first, we clear the "brain fog" so you can make clearer, more confident decisions for your loved one.
2. Family Facilitation & Sibling Dynamics
Caregiving often brings old family patterns to the surface. I act as a neutral third party to facilitate difficult conversations about care, finances, and "what happens next," ensuring everyone is heard and the focus remains on your loved one’s dignity.
3. The "Get Organized" Audit
Most caregivers spend hours hunting for passwords, insurance policies, and healthcare proxies. I help you build a centralized, "in-case-of-emergency" system (using my Plan Well™ framework) so you can stop searching and start supporting.
4. Sandwich Generation Strategy
If you are simultaneously raising kids and caring for parents, you are at high risk for burnout. We work together to identify "circles of care," delegate tasks, and build a sustainable rhythm that protects your mental health and your career.
5. Proactive Crisis Planning
Don't wait for the 2:00 AM hospital call to figure out where the Power of Attorney is kept. I guide you through the 7 Steps of End-of-Life & Legacy Planning so you can be a caregiver who is prepared, rather than one who is constantly reacting.
Is This You?
The Overwhelmed Adult Child: You love your parents, but the logistics of their aging are taking over your life.
The Long-Distance Caregiver: You’re managing care from another state and need a "boots on the ground" strategy.
The "Sandwich" Parent: You are squeezed between the needs of your children and the declining health of your parents.
The Professional Caregiver: You are an executor or advocate who needs a thought partner to streamline the administrative burden.
