See a psycho-oncology specialist to deal with the emotional side of cancer
Practice areas
Subspecialties
Cancer affects many aspects of our mental and social lives. Some of the problems I address are below.
Isolation
Being treated for cancer often means that your life becomes between home and the hospital. Talking to me even just once a week can help.
Scan-Related Anxiety
Seem impossible to keep your wits with a scan coming up? I can show you some ways to cope.
Depression
The entire cancer ordeal can easily propel one into depression. Talking to someone can help you start pulling out of the darkness.
Fatigue
Chemo fatigue is one of the hardest aspects of cancer treatment. A counselor can help you maintain activity despite having little energy.
Caregiver Burnout
Looking after someone with cancer can be physically and mentally taxing. Talking about the situation can help you recharge.
End-of-Life Anxiety
The problem of all problems — what does death mean? Is it to be feared or embraced? Thinking aloud on the issue can help you work through it.

Why should I see you and not a licensed counselor?
I have 9 months of full-time study in counseling, specifically focusing on cancer-related issues. Cancer (psycho-oncology) is a rare speciality in the counseling field. Additionally, I care deeply about people and have a well-rounded knowledge of psychotherapy.

Anyone diagnosed with cancer, including those who have completed treatment or are cured. Families and caregivers of people with cancer are also welcome. Topics of discussion must be related to cancer and not be about politics, divisive social subjects, etc.
