Virtual Therapy for Caregivers in California

Support for Spouses, Adult Children, and Loved Ones Caring for Someone with Dementia or Chronic Illness

Caring for a loved one with dementia or another challenging health condition can be rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating. In addition to the day to day care needs, you may find yourself juggling medical appointments, handling finances, struggling with difficult decisions about the future, maneuvering complicated family dynamics, and worrying constantly about your loved one’s safety and well being—all while trying to maintain some sort of life of your own. It’s common to feel guilt, frustration, grief, or burnout, and many caregivers struggle with anxiety, sleep disruption, and emotional fatigue.

If you’ve been searching for caregiver support or virtual therapy for family caregivers in California, it’s important to know that help is available — you don’t have to manage this alone.

How Virtual Therapy Supports Caregivers

Caregiving is often a full-time job with no training manual. Virtual therapy can help you:

  • Process feelings of guilt, grief, or frustration

  • Build healthy coping strategies and develop skills to manage stress and burnout more effectively

  • Set boundaries while still caring for your loved one

  • Navigate family dynamics and decision-making

  • Strengthen resilience so you can continue providing care without sacrificing your own well-being

I bring my experience as a former geriatric care manager to therapy sessions, which allows me to understand the practical, emotional, and relational challenges of caregiving, as well as having a solid understanding of various challenging conditions (like dementia). My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, helping you develop strategies to manage stress and maintain balance while caring for a loved one.  I also bring personal experience of caregiving for family members, which helps me better understand some of unique challenges and difficult feelings that arise for caregivers.  

What Working With Me Is Like

Many caregivers put themselves last, and starting therapy can feel like another thing to “fit in” to an already packed schedule. A benefit of virtual therapy is that you can attend from the convenience of your home and not have to drive to yet another appointment, or set up someone to care for your loved one while you are away for an extended period of time.  My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can be honest about your struggles and focus on your well-being.

Our work together will be:

  • Collaborative and practical

  • Focused on emotional support and coping strategies

  • Grounded in your goals and values

  • Flexible to accommodate the demands of caregiving

You don’t have to carry the weight of caregiving alone. Virtual therapy provides a space to process, plan, and restore your energy so you can continue caring for your loved one while taking care of yourself.

I provide support to:

  • Spouses or partners caring for a loved one with dementia or chronic illness
