Cancer is a frightening diagnosis. It can conjure up thoughts of spending long periods of time in difficult treatment, feeling ill, suffering and possibly even dying. If you or a loved one has cancer or any other life threatening illness, it is important to learn the physical, emotional and spiritual tools to help you through this challenging time. Everyone’s experience is different which is why I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. With over 35 years experience as a licensed counselor, I have worked with addictions, mental illness, couples & family therapy, chronic illness, coping with life changes, grief and loss. My specialty lies with chronic illnesses, especially cancer, since it was so pronounced in my family while growing up. I am certified as an Interactive Guided Imagery ℠ Practitioner helping clients draw on their own inner resources to find creative ways to problem solve and to support healing. The greatest challenge to a life threatening diagnosis is often your own inexperience facing what seems so insurmountable. There is no good reason you should take this journey alone. That is where the support of counseling steps in providing a listening ear, help with the anxiety and stress that often accompanies this type of diagnosis and providing helpful referral information. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
