About Paula
You are seen, you are heard, and you matter too.
I'm Paula Phelps, a caregiver's coach and licensed clinical social worker. In my clinical practice I watched the same story play out over and over: a daughter holding her parent's whole world together while her own slowly slipped away.
She was running two households, covering costs out of pocket, managing doctors and rides, still showing up for her own family, and absorbing hurtful words from a parent whose illness she understood but still felt.
I created my coaching practice because I believe every caregiving woman deserves support. Together we protect your energy, set healthy boundaries, and build a balance you can keep, so you can care for your parent without losing yourself.
My hope for you is simple: that you get to feel like a daughter again, not just a caregiver, even while they're still here. Don't wait until they're gone to have your life.
