You’re caring for a loved one with cancer and feel overwhelmed by the responsibility you carry
You’re trying to be strong and supportive, while quietly feeling exhausted, anxious, or emotionally drained
You’re juggling caregiving with work, family, or other responsibilities and feel stretched thin
You’re struggling with guilt — for needing a break, for feeling resentful at times, or for not doing “enough”
You’re experiencing anticipatory grief, fear about the future, or a sense of loss for how life used to be
You want a space where your feelings matter, even when you’re used to putting everyone else first
However you arrived here, I am glad you’re here. Read on to see how my caregiver counseling services may help you.
Individual counseling services for caregivers
Caring for someone with cancer can be emotionally and physically exhausting, often bringing significant changes to daily life and roles at home. You may find yourself taking on new responsibilities, making difficult decisions, or balancing caregiving with work, parenting, and other commitments — all while managing your own emotional response to what’s happening.
Individual therapy offers a private, supportive space to talk openly about fear, guilt, resentment, grief, or burnout, without judgment. Therapy can help you process the emotional weight of caregiving, navigate shifting roles and boundaries, and find ways to care for yourself while caring for someone else. You deserve support too, and counseling can help you feel more grounded, resilient, and less alone as you move through this journey.
A message to caregivers
If you’re caring for someone with cancer, you may be carrying more than most people can see. You might be managing the logistics of care, emotions, and daily life, all while trying to stay steady for the person you love. Over time, the weight of responsibility, worry, and constant vigilance can quietly build.
Through my 11 years of experience working with cancer patients and their caregivers, I’ve witnessed the many silent burdens caregivers carry — the exhaustion that goes unspoken, the guilt that surfaces when you need a break, and the grief and fear that often have nowhere to land. I’ve also seen how hospital systems, despite best intentions, often lack adequate emotional support for caregivers, leaving many people feeling overlooked or alone during an incredibly demanding time. This gap in care is a driving reason why I am committed to offering dedicated support for caregivers in my practice.
Therapy can offer a place just for you — a space where you don’t have to minimize your experience or stay strong for anyone else. It’s a place to process what you’re carrying, navigate shifting roles, and reconnect with yourself along the way. You don’t have to do this alone, and support is available when you’re ready.
My experience supporting caregivers
Throughout my career working in oncology settings, I have worked closely with caregivers supporting loved ones through cancer treatment, survivorship, and advanced illness. In my clinical roles, I have witnessed how caregivers often become the emotional and logistical backbone of care — coordinating appointments, managing medications, supporting decision-making, and providing constant emotional presence for the person they love.
Through this work, I have come to deeply appreciate the complex and often unspoken challenges caregivers face. Many caregivers are balancing multiple responsibilities, including work, parenting, household demands, and their own personal needs, while carrying ongoing worry, anticipatory grief, and uncertainty. Caregivers frequently feel pressure to remain strong and steady, even when they are deeply depleted.
I have also seen how caregivers are often required to navigate complex medical and social systems that can be difficult to understand, time-consuming to manage, and not always well-aligned with the support they are seeking. While healthcare systems appropriately prioritize patient care, caregivers’ emotional, practical, and psychological needs are not always fully addressed. Because of this, I am deeply committed to offering therapy that recognizes caregivers as individuals who also deserve care, validation, and support. My goal is to provide a space where caregivers can speak openly, process what they are carrying, and reconnect with their own well-being while continuing to support their loved one.
If you’re a caregiver and something on this page resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. Caring for someone with cancer can be overwhelming, and having a space that focuses on you can make a meaningful difference. Support is available when you’re ready.
