Mindful Matters: Your Partner in Mental Health

If you're parenting a child with complex medical needs, chronic illness, or disabilities, your journey carries unique emotional challenges that others may not fully understand. The constant vigilance, medical appointments, insurance battles, and fear for your child's future create layers of stress that traditional parenting advice simply doesn't address.

You carry an invisible weight—the chronic worry, the hypervigilance, the grief for the childhood you imagined your child would have. You may feel guilty for wanting emotional support when your child is the one who's sick. You might struggle with feeling isolated from other parents whose biggest concern is screen time, not life-threatening symptoms.

The intensity of medical parenting can trigger trauma responses, anxiety, and depression while simultaneously demanding that you remain your child's strongest advocate. You don't need someone to tell you to "just relax"—you need someone who understands the unique psychological toll of loving a medically fragile child.

Your healing matters not just for you, but for your entire family's resilience. When you process your own trauma and stress responses, you become better equipped to navigate the emotional complexity of medical parenting while maintaining the deep connection your child needs.

Life as a parent is busy — especially if you’re balancing medical appointments, school, and work. That’s why I offer 100% virtual therapy, making healing more accessible.

• Attend sessions from anywhere in Nevada and Utah
