About

Are you or is someone you love struggling with cancer, chronic illness or medical trauma? Do you find yourself unable to enjoy the present moment because you are preoccupied with cancer recurrence or the next chronic illness flare-up? Medical issues can feel all-consuming. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to decrease your anxiety about your medical history, scans, treatment and/or flare-ups. You’re ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and isolated by illness, wanting to spend your time in meaningful ways instead. Most of all, you are ready to find your new normal and start living again.
Clients come to me looking for someone who “gets” what it’s like to struggle with a medical issue. Therapy should be a validating place where you feel understood. Sessions involve talking and learning coping skills—at your pace, as you feel comfortable. Together, we will get you to a place where you can live the meaningful life you deserve.
As a cancer survivor, I understand how difficult it can be to cope with medical trauma and uncertainty. I’m here to offer support, tools and strategies aimed at helping you feel less alone, more empowered and more hopeful about the future. You don’t have to continue feeling like you are defined by illness. Reach out to schedule a free consultation today.
