Cancer

I help clients learn to live with their disease.

Life changes in an instant when you are told that you have cancer. Loss of control, more questions than answers, “hurry up and wait”, disappearing friends, a new relationship with your partner, disruptions to your children’s routines, an unknown reflection in the bathroom mirror, and fear of burdening those offering support - you are not alone. A cancer diagnosis affects every aspect of a person’s life. You may feel that cancer has become your life or that a cancer diagnosis has assumed your identity. By understanding hope as the flickers of light that give our lives meaning, hope remains even in times of great adversity. Hope allows us to live wholly despite diagnosis and prognosis. Whether you are newly diagnosed, in treatment, in remission/NED, or transitioning to end-of-life care, it would be my privilege to join your support team. Together, we can process your emotional experience with cancer. I can help you navigate the healthcare system, develop self-advocacy skills, learn stress reduction practices, facilitate conversations with loved ones, prepare emotionally for upcoming tests and procedures, and celebrate victories of all types along the way.
