Are you the parent of an adult child with serious mental illness, feeling overwhelmed by crisis, worry, and uncertainty? You may feel constantly on edge, waiting for the next call, trying to hold everything together while your own life feels on hold. The guilt, fear, and exhaustion can be relentless. I help parents feel more grounded, think more clearly, and respond more intentionally—so you can regain stability and begin to reclaim your life, even when your child is still struggling.
I specialize in helping parents of adult children with serious mental illness, combining clinical training with personal experience. I incorporate approaches like LEAP to help you communicate effectively, set boundaries without losing connection, and navigate complex situations with greater clarity. Faith can be integrated if desired, honoring your beliefs.
You don’t have to live at the mercy of your child’s illness. I hold empathic, direct, and nonjudgmental space to help you feel anchored and in control—even when their situation hasn’t changed. If you’re ready to think clearly, respond more intentionally, and begin living your life again without constant fear or guilt,— I invite you to reach out.

I work with parents of adult children with serious mental illness who feel burnt out, guilty, and unsure what to do next. You may feel like you can't be okay unless your child is—torn between helping and letting go. We clarify what's within your control, create a plan for boundaries and communication, and help you feel more steady, clear, and in control—even when their situation hasn't changed.

My approach is practical, direct, and grounded in evidence-based methods like CBT, LEAP (a communication approach that builds trust and reduces conflict), and Brainspotting.
