Are you a business owner, young professional, or busy worker struggling to do all that needs to be done to meet pressing priorities and family demands?

You have many responsibilities that usually you can manage with grace and creativity. You face many pressures and sometimes unfair judgments stemming from those who have no clue what you do on an average day. Some days, you wonder if you keep going. Yet, your business and family need you, and so you drag yourself back to the grind.

You know that it is necessary to have time to restore. So you do your best to exercise and meditate. Yet your passion for life is dimmed. And it is hard to crawl out of bed. You know that some say that with organization and delegation, you might be able to find time to do some favorite activity. You’ve tried…really hard!

I get it, because I too, took care of my family of three kids while running my own electrical contracting business for 19 years while caring for my aging parents. In the 1970’s being a female electrician was novel and at times - trailblazing in a very unfriendly environment. Balancing my responsibilities kept me hopping and reordering my priorities. And learning new ways to get more done in less time. Or just stop trying to do it all!

I help overloaded parents find ways through the maze of competing priorities to survive and thrive. I support them to solve their own challenges and make decisions that will serve them best in the short and long term. You will learn to balance the developmental needs and tangible supports that your children need. Since I too have experienced the overwhelm & multiple priorities, all equally important. Recalling, that each has its own important needs and timetable. Together we will figure out if the outcome is what you want. I am keenly aware that easy fixes are insulting and disconnected from your reality. I am willing to go with you through the hills and valleys. You need a place where it is safe to share. You can unload all those feelings of anxiety, frustration & discouragement that not having the ability to know outcomes.

I provide Oregon residents counseling via telehealth to ease the suffering that being overloaded brings. I will empower you with more tools for handling stress and emotional healing.
