Coaching

Caregiving can be deeply meaningful—and it can also be incredibly exhausting. If you’re carrying a lot, you don’t have to carry it alone. I offer coaching and concierge-style support to help caregivers find clarity, confidence, and a steady path forward.

You might be here if …

~ You’re caring for someone with support needs
~ You feel overwhelmed by systems, policies, regulations, or constant advocacy
~ You want a clearer path—but don’t know where to start
~ You’re a professional in a helping field feeling stretched thin
~ You want support for you, not just those you care for, because you matter

I can help you to …

~ Clarify priorities and reduce the mental load
~ Build realistic support and advocacy plans
~ Deliver confident communication with schools, providers, and systems
~ Navigate transitions (new diagnoses, school changes, adulthood, burnout)
~ Create boundaries and sustainable self-care—without the guilt
~ Offer resource guidance and next-step planning when appropriate

What this looks like …

~ A short exploratory call to understand your situation and goals
~ Coaching sessions (virtual) focused on clarity, strategy, and support
~ A simple, actionable plan you can actually use
~ Optional ongoing support or concierge-style guidance, as needed

Remember, this isn’t about fixing you or me telling you what to do. You are not broken! My approach is a blend of deep listening, an offer of practical strategies, and an infusion of both lived and career experience—meeting you where you are and helping you move forward with confidence and compassion.

My approach is:

~ Trauma-informed and strengths-based
~ Grounded in neurodiversity-affirming values
~ Honest, caring, and judgment-free
~ Focused on sustainable change—providing you with relief from burnout
