Individual Therapy
Apart from my cancer-focused work, I offer individual therapy for those navigating chronic illness, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and other life challenges. With my experience working with individuals facing major life transitions and health challenges, I can relate deeply to the uncertainty, exhaustion, and emotional weight that these experiences can bring.
When we work together, we will:
Explore feelings of uneasiness, fear, or grief
Navigate the practical and emotional complexities of things like grants, insurance, wills, and care planning
Address stress, caregiver burnout, and survivor’s guilt
Make space for both the heaviness and the resilience that come with living through illness or major change
Our sessions will focus on helping you find steadiness, meaning, and self-compassion—even when life feels unpredictable.
Cancer-Focused Psychotherapy (or Psycho-Oncology)
The work integrates emotional processing with evidence-based strategies tailored to the physical and psychological impact of cancer.
In our sessions we will create a safe, compassionate, space to navigate the emotional challenges that come with cancer and healing:
Together, we will focus on:
Understanding the emotional and psychological impact of your cancer experience.
Developing practical strategies stress anxiety and uncertainty
Building emotional resilience and self-compassion through treatment and recovery.
Creating sustainable coping tools that support long term well being and quality of life.
Parent Support Psychotherapy
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, parents often take on two demanding roles at once – caregiver and emotional anchor. Supporting a child through therapy such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and immunotherapy affects every part of the family, and parents often need both medical guidance and emotional resources to cope.
Here are key aspects of parent support and therapy for families navigating childhood cancer:
Emotional and psychological support
Practical and family coping strategies
Engaging the medical team
Building a support network
Care-Givers and Loved Ones Psychotherapy
Undergoing cancer therapy carries a tremendous emotional, physical, and logistical burden. Their role often involves coordinating care, providing emotional support, and managing the patient’s daily needs — all while coping with their own stress and uncertainty. Effective coping strategies can help caregivers protect their health and sustain hope through the long course of treatment.
Cancer Group Therapy
Cancer group therapy provides a supportive environment where people living with or recovering from cancer can share experiences, coping strategies, and emotional challenges.
Emotional support: Managing fear, anxiety, or depression related to diagnosis or treatment.
Information exchange: Learning about treatment side effects, lifestyle adjustments, or community resources.
Coping skills: Practicing relaxation, mindfulness, or communication techniques.
Social connection: Reducing feelings of isolation by connecting with others who understand similar struggles
Cancer Survivorship Therapy
Surviving cancer can bring both relief and complexity. Even after treatment ends, the emotional, physical, and spiritual effects often continue to unfold. You may find yourself navigating waves of gratitude, uncertainty, fatigue, or fear — all of which are natural parts of the healing process.
Cancer Survivorship Therapy offers a gentle, supportive space where every part of your experience is welcome. Grounded in mindfulness, self-compassion, and trauma-informed care, our work together focuses on restoring a sense of safety, connection, and inner balance.
In our sessions, we’ll explore how to:
Understand and integrate the emotional and physical shifts that come after treatment
Soften fear, anxiety, and stress through mindfulness and body-centered awareness
Rebuild trust in your body and confidence in daily life
Nurture resilience, self-compassion, and acceptance
Reclaim meaning, joy, and purpose as you continue to heal and grow
This space honors both your vulnerability and your strength—supporting you in moving forward with patience, awareness, and a deep sense of self-care.
Grief and Loss Psychotherapy
Grief therapy doesn’t aim to erase pain but to help you live with loss in a way that reconnects you to life and love. Grief and loss therapy helps people process the pain of losing a loved one—whether through death, illness, or even anticipatory grief (grieving before death occurs, as often happens during cancer). It aims to support healing, adjustment, and the rediscovery of meaning after loss.
With specialized experience in oncology social work, I offer support that addresses not just the emotional, but also the relational, spiritual, and existential aspects of your journey.
