Cancer & Grief

Therapy for individuals with cancer and their loved ones, as well as for anyone who is grieving.

Individuals with Cancer and Their Loved Ones

Cancer is isolating. Patients, parents, siblings, and other loved ones all carry the weight of a cancer diagnosis and treatment. Therapy can help give you a safe space to prioritize and process your experience. From experiencing medical trauma to missing out on the day-to-day life of someone in your teens or twenties, we can navigate the emotional distress of having cancer.

Cancer affects more than the patient. Sibling and parent experiences are unique and need space to be processed. From anxiety associated with diagnosis and treatment to navigating the changes in your daily life, I can help you process your emotions and provide a nonjudgemental space that is just for you.

Individuals Who Are Grieving

Grief, whether cancer-related or not, can be one of the most overwhelming emotions we experience as humans. The loss of a loved one, expected or unexpected, is something for which no one can prepare. The heaviness of grief can feel like gut-wrenching sadness partnered with a sense of hopelessness.

Grief is the ultimate form of love. Let me support you on your journey to honor your loved one, manage these heavy emotions, and continue to live the life you yearn for.

Support on your hardest days

With a background in oncology/hematology/BMT, I have witnessed first hand the intense difficulties associated with cancer diagnoses and grief. Utilizing evidence-based practices mixed with genuine compassion, you will have the space to process and manage the many emotions you experience. Let therapy serve as your safe space, your calm place of solace, during this time.

I received specialized training in Prolonged Grief Disorder and evidence-based practices to specifically support the grieving process of children, adolescents, and adults.
