Therapy for Caregivers

In-Person Therapy for Caregiver Burnout San Diego |
Online Caregiver Counseling Throughout California

Caregiving is a loving yet stressful juggling act.

You may be taking care of most, if not every, need of your loved one.

Between meals, transportation, appointments, and other household and supportive tasks, you have a LOT on your already full plate.

Devoting to your loved one is such a big part of your life that working, providing for your family, maintaining relationships, and nurturing yourself has become incredibly difficult.

The truth is, you are running on empty. You might skip meals, have trouble sleeping, or resort to numbing coping mechanisms to deal with it all. So, no wonder you feel stuck, depleted, and even guilty for feeling this way.

Get the support you need to care for yourself and others.

Wellbeing Within Therapy San Diego offers in-person therapy for caregivers to adults in La Jolla, San Diego City and County, and online throughout California.

Whether you are taking care of a child, family member, or someone in need of support due to their age, injury, or condition, I see the tremendous stress you are carrying. Caregiver Burnout is real, but you don’t have to go through it alone.

Let’s come together to put yourself first and find effective strategies to traverse this winding journey.

What Is Caregiver Burnout?

Caregiver Burnout is the immense physical, mental, and emotional stress caregivers endure when caring for someone else, which negatively impacts their overall functioning and wellbeing.

What Is Therapy for Caregivers?

Therapy for Caregivers or caregiver counseling is a mental health treatment that offers a safe place for caregivers to land, address their unique challenges, and focus on themselves—their emotions, wants, needs, and goals.

Are You Experiencing Caregiver Burnout?

Common caregiver burnout signs:

  • Anxiety and/or stress

  • Changes in appetite or weight

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Exhaustion (despite appropriate rest)

  • Grief

  • Guilt

  • Helplessness

  • Isolation

  • Lack of interest in activities you used to enjoy

  • Loss of hope

If you are experiencing caregiver burnout or want support to manage caregiver stress, therapy is an excellent choice to find relief.

Caregiver Support is Incredibly Important.

As a licensend clinical social worker, I bring vast personal and professional experience to caregiver support.

I’ve witnessed the painful toll Parkinson’s Disease and ALS took on my grandfather and sister, respectively, as well as on our family system. I’ve also served as the Clinical Director of Supervision at the Parkinson’s Association of San Diego, and I have an extensive understanding of chronic illness and its implications on patients and caregivers.

My clients say I’m genuine, accepting, and empowering in their capacity to heal and grow. I draw from modalities such as cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, strengths-based, and insight-oriented therapy to offer a holistic treatment that suits you.

As we work together, you will:

  • Have a dedicated time and place for you

  • Take inventory of your needs, thoughts, and feelings

  • Regain hope and grace toward yourself

  • Attain freedom and confidence to prioritize your wellbeing

  • Improve or shift your existing coping skills

  • Find new tools to manage the waves of your caregiving journey
