Cancer & Chronic Illness Counseling & Support

Life before your diagnosis seems like a dream.

Chronic Illness and Cancer Counseling, Alpharetta, GA

Now you find yourself up at night, worrying, comparing your old life and the lives of your friends to this new life. Suddenly your days are full of doctors’ appointments, medications, and a constant reminder that something’s wrong.

Seeing friends or family with new diagnoses is probably intensifying your fears. If you’re like many people I see with a life-changing or life-limiting illness you often:

  • Cringe when someone says, “how are you?” or “you look great.”

  • Pretend things are okay.

  • Think about death, dying, or leaving your loved ones behind.

Having cancer or a chronic illness does change your life… but it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice who you are.

Therapy for Chronic Illnesses and Cancer

With me, you can share and process the hard reality, the tears, the anxious thoughts, and the deafening fear. My personal experiences have empowered me to help people experiencing anxiety, chronic illnesses, and cancer (and their caregivers too) throughout the greater Atlanta area.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or dealing with illness long-term, I can help you:

  • Make sense of your diagnosis.

  • Identify the triggers that worsen your symptoms.

  • Recognize and learn to change the thoughts that contribute to fear and anxiety.

  • Reduce your reactivity, allowing you to sleep better, take care of yourself, and improve your relationships.

  • Learn and use awesome new tools like CBT, mindfulness, and hypnotherapy.

  • Get in touch with your values and needs so you can have the difficult conversations you’ve been ignoring.

  • Carry the weight of the fear of death and dying that you don’t think your friends and family can handle.

  • Bring balance back and get on with living.
