Support for LGBTQ+ Caregivers

Caring for another person and their daily needs can be deeply meaningful—but it can also be overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating. For LGBTQ+ adults,  caregiving often comes with unique challenges: navigating family dynamics, managing your own health, and balancing responsibilities while feeling unseen or unsupported. There can be an additional worry that health systems and providers don't "get" the unique needs of LGBTQ+ people, especially as they age and become more dependent on others or in turn help friends and family as they age. Dementia, chronic medical conditions, amputated limbs, and terminal illness often lead to people needing help with daily tasks and emotional support.  They say it "takes a village" to raise children - the same is true about the other end of the lifespan. 

​

I am here to be part of your village. In providing online counseling for caregivers, I hope to helping you manage stress, clarify your priorities, and find ways to care for yourself while caring for others. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. 

​

• Build skills to respond to challenging dementia-related behaviors

• Learn to hold stress, guilt, or resentment with compassion.

• Create space to process complex emotions, from grief to frustration, while honoring your experience.
