Paula Phelps, LCSW · Caregiver Coach
You matter too, not just everyone you're caring for.
I help caregivers of aging parents set boundaries and take back their life, without the guilt.
If any of this sounds like your week, you're in the right place.
- Straight from work to Mom's. Dinner at 9pm, if you eat at all.
- You cried in the car in her driveway, and nobody knows.
- You're the one the doctor calls. Not your siblings. Never your siblings.
- You feel guilty for wanting your own life back, and you've never said it out loud.
I see you, and what you're carrying is real. You didn't ask for this role. It happened over time. And you are not a bad daughter for being tired.

How it worksHi, I'm Paula
I've sat across from so many women carrying this alone.
I'm a caregiver's coach and a licensed clinical social worker, and I've seen the same pain again and again: daughters holding everything together for their parents while quietly falling apart.
My work is helping you set boundaries you can actually hold, let go of the guilt, and remember who you are outside of caregiving. You don't have to figure this out alone.
