Everything changed with your cancer diagnosis.

You remember leaving the doctor’s office in shock after getting the news, desperately trying to make sense of this new reality.

It was like your life was turned upside-down in an instant, and everything that felt solid and permanent was thrown into chaos.

Suddenly, the future that once held so much hope and promise became terrifying and unknown.

Now, you’re just trying to get through each day.

You look at your calendar for the week ahead and shudder.

Between appointments with doctors and specialists and your insurance company, you have no space for anything else.

And it’s difficult to imagine ever having the time or energy to do what you want again.

The future feels so uncertain.

No one can give you any guarantees that the treatments you’re undergoing will actually work.

You put your whole life on hold for your condition but worry that it could all be for nothing.

What if I never get back to full health? What if I always look and feel this way? Will I ever again be comfortable going out and having fun?

It’s such an isolating experience.

You’re not sure who to trust or how much to share about your diagnosis. The last thing you want to do is answer a bunch of insensitive questions you don’t know how to respond to.

The people you thought would be there for you all seem to have disappeared, and you feel betrayed and let down.

You also don’t want to be seen as a charity case or a burden to anyone, so you keep what you’re going through to yourself.

Something needs to change.

All you can think about every waking hour is your illness. It’s become a point of obsession.

You used to be strong, confident, and resilient, but now it feels like the slightest bad news can send you into a tailspin.

It’s as though an integral part of who you are has been taken away, and you don’t know how to get it back.

There is a way forward.

Stop pulling away from life and start reconnecting with the things that matter most to you.

Cancer does not need to take over your entire life or prevent you from living as fully as you deserve.

You have the strength to overcome even the most devastating challenges, and I can help you tap into that power.

More About Me

And as the founder and CEO of the Center for Psycho-Oncology Care, I’m so glad that you’re here.

I help individuals with a current or past cancer diagnosis struggling with treatment side effects, life disruptions, and the intense fear that their lives will be shortened or their cancer will return.

Using strengths-based tools like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), you’ll learn to manage anxiety and depression, cope with physical and emotional side effects, and improve communication in relationships.

It’s possible to adjust to life with cancer without allowing it to affect your self-esteem or sense of purpose.

It’s time to experience less fear, increased calm, improved sleep, healthier relationships, and more satisfaction.

You don’t have to struggle with this alone any longer. Call me now, and let’s help you find peace today!
