I am committed and passionate about helping individuals improve their quality of life. Sometimes we have such uncomfortable feelings that we don't know how we will make it through the day. Sometimes really bad things happen to us and around that we might not know how to manage. Sometimes our bodies and minds take over and we feel like we have no control over our lives. We try to understand and control the symptoms: the anxiety, depression, anger, headaches, insomnia, stomach pain and fatigue. Sound familiar? I believe that understanding the mind-body connection is the first step to improving your mental health and well-being.

It's ok to ask for help. It's true that I can't erase your past or instantly take away your pain (although I wish I could). However, I can help you carry your burdens more lightly, whether that means adjusting to major life transitions, learning new ways of coping with anxiety or managing the emotional strain of living with cancer (as a patient or caregiver). Additionally, I have expertise in health-related issues and enjoy working with clients around eating disorders, chronic illness, and prenatal/postpartum mental health. Therapy is your time to feel supported and understood.

I offer individual counseling and a breast cancer support group.
I meet clients where they are at in their journey and tailor to their needs. I believe the way we think and conceptualize ourselves, relationships, and the world around us, greatly impacts our feelings and day to day functioning. Discovering where these thoughts come from, how we learned them, what relationships throughout our development have led to how we think about ourselves and others, is the first step to healing. By doing this, we can create new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. Learning these skills in a safe relationship has the power to change our muscle memory to feel and behave differently.

How does cancer affect mental health?
A cancer diagnosis is a major life event that can significantly influence the mental health of any individual. Being diagnosed with cancer often introduces a sense of uncertainty about the future, which can cause clients to experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, and significant distress. Many cancer patients may also worry about the toll that their diagnosis may have on their family, their physical health, their job, and their financial situation. The compounding of such stressors can also decrease mental health in clients and may lead to additional symptoms that can influence mental health, such as sleeping difficulties or social withdrawal.
What is the best psychological therapy for cancer patients?
The best type of psychological therapy for cancer patients is highly dependent on the needs of the individual. The therapy type that a client benefits from may also depend on what stage of the cancer journey they are in. Recently diagnosed cancer patients, for instance, may benefit from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which can help clients develop skills to manage the emotional distress that comes with a cancer diagnosis. Alternatively, cancer patients further along in their journey may benefit from therapies like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) or other forms of mindfulness therapy to help manage symptoms or physical pain associated with treatment. Clients may also consider group therapy, which offers cancer patients an opportunity to receive support from other individuals dealing with a cancer diagnosis.
Are there any risks or drawbacks in going to therapy while dealing with cancer?
Although attending therapy while dealing with a cancer diagnosis can be helpful, one major concern for cancer patients can be the financial cost of seeking therapy. Many therapists are out-of-network, meaning they do not accept insurance, and thus clients are expected to pay the entirety of the session fee. Since many cancer patients may be out of work as a result of their diagnosis or cancer treatment regimen, the costs of therapy sessions can be substantial. Luckily, many cancer centers and local clinics may offer free or substantially reduced-cost counseling services to cancer patients and their families. In addition, cancer patients may be eligible for grants or other forms of funding from local agencies and nonprofits to seek therapy for their cancer diagnosis. Such opportunities can be very helpful for cancer patients, as they allow clients to obtain the benefits of therapy without the financial strain.
How long does cancer therapy typically last?
The length of cancer therapy depends on the needs of each client. In some cases, cancer patients may only require therapeutic support during the period following their initial diagnosis—to help manage the uncertainty and shock of a cancer diagnosis. In other cases, clients may choose to receive therapy throughout their treatment, and even following, their cancer journey. Pursuing therapy for a longer period of time can help clients develop a deeper relationship with their therapist and provide opportunity to process the challenges presented by cancer treatment, such as physical pain, and challenges associated with cancer survivorship, such as ongoing identity concerns, physical limitations, or relationship challenges.
