Who Holds Space For You?
Specialized Online Therapy for Parenting Stress, Compassion Fatigue, and Family Transitions Across Utah.
For those managing the "everyday chaos" and "tornados of feelings."
IYou spend your entire life being the anchor. You are the one anticipating everyone else's needs, managing the schedules, soothing the tantrums, and absorbing the emotional storms of the people you love. But when you pour absolutely everything you have into others, it leaves you running on empty.
Whether you are a parent trying to stop playing emotional whack-a-mole with your kids' behaviors, a foster or adoptive parent navigating complex trauma systems, or an adult child managing the heavy care of aging parents, you are likely hitting a wall of profound exhaustion.
When you live in survival mode for too long, your own nervous system gets stuck on high alert. You might find yourself snapping over small things, feeling deeply disconnected, or carrying an overwhelming amount of guilt because you feel like you're failing at a role you care so much about.
This is your safe place to land. Together, we’ll work on getting you regulated, anchored, and supported, turning a heavy, overwhelming landscape into something manageable.
Parenting Support & Nervous System Regulation
Children don't just need a perfect parent; they need a regulated one. When your child is throwing an emotional tornado, it triggers your own stress response. We will move away from rigid parenting checklists and focus on co-regulation techniques, helping you manage your own triggers so you can respond with calm clarity rather than reactive exhaustion.
Compassion Fatigue & Caregiver Burnout
Compassion fatigue is a very real, physical, and psychological response to chronic caregiving. If you are supporting a loved one through a chronic illness, disability, or mental health crisis, we will address the profound depletion you are experiencing. We work on building sustainable boundaries, dismantling "caregiver guilt," and creating genuine, practical restoration.
Foster Care & Adoption Transitions
The foster and adoption landscapes are uniquely beautiful and exceptionally complex. Pulling from deep, specialized professional experience within foster care and child welfare systems, I offer targeted support for parents navigating the systemic hurdles, secondary trauma, attachment challenges, and the intense emotional transitions that come with welcoming a child into your home.
Family Dynamics & Boundary Work
Every family has its own invisible ecosystem of roles, expectations, and old patterns. Whether you are dealing with intergenerational boundary struggles, navigating complex blended family dynamics, or trying to break painful cycles from your own childhood, we will map out these systems to help you build healthier, more functional relationships.
Real-World Dynamic Support, No Judgment Allowed
Caregiving is messy, and therapy for it should be a place where you can say the hard things out loud without fear of judgment. My approach blends real-world practicality with evidence-based, trauma-informed clinical frameworks.
We will look at your family dynamic through a systemic lens, recognizing that your stress doesn't exist in a vacuum. You won't get toxic positivity here; you will get a collaborative space to process the grief, anger, and beauty of caregiving, paired with concrete strategies to help your nervous system finally calm down.
