Psycho-Oncology/CancerCare

Did you hear the dreaded "C" word and think "wow, my life is over! This was never supposed to be me!!" I hear you. A diagnosis that brings so many emotions and leaves you in an utter state of shock.

 

Perhaps you reacted completely different than you thought you might. Almost unphased. People were thinking you were “completely alright”…but they couldn't quite believe it. You have cancer…so how are you alright?!

 

A diagnosis like cancer can bring so many different reactions and there is no correct way to react. If you’re looking for a place to process with someone who has specialized training in cancer care-come and take a seat-in person or virtual with me, and we can unpack how you actually feel and work through any of the following areas:

My work with cancer is integrative (as is most Cancer therapy), but I draw mostly from an ACT, CBT-Cancer, DBT, and meaning (or existential) therapy lens. Please reach out further if you have any questions and I’m glad to answer them.
