Are you, or is someone you know experiencing emotional distress or feeling burdened by a personal difficulty? Sometimes we can feel confused about which path to take as we're confronted by life's challenges. If this sounds like your experience, talking to a therapist may be helpful. Together we can explore feelings, patterns, thoughts and behaviours that may be creating unwanted habits or obstacles in your life that you're ready to remove.

​

Issues that can be addressed in our therapy and counselling sessions:

​

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Grief

• Loss

• Trauma

• Life Transitions - parenthood, empty nest, retirement, aging

• Relationship difficulties - romantic, social, professional

• Coping with PTSD

• Sexual trauma

• Coping with chronic illness and/or pain

• Palliative diagnosis

• Stress management / work-life balance / burnout

​COPING WITH A CANCER DIAGNOSIS?

​

A cancer diagnosis can represent a major upheaval in your life. Anxiety,

fearfulness, uncertainty and worry are common experiences when facing

a major illness. You can feel derailed, blindsided and shocked while attempting

to navigate a new reality. Often this can leave a person feeling overwhelmed.

​

I offer psychotherapy that is targeted to individuals with a cancer diagnosis and their family members. Together we can explore your experience living with a cancer diagnosis, through the stages of illness from diagnosis to end of treatment or survivorship.

In our therapy sessions you can expect to:

​

• Develop effective strategies for coping with fear, worry & uncertainty

• Learn how to cope with feelings of separation and loss

• Learn communication skills that will help you communicate with loved ones and your medical network

• Learn how to not lose YOUR SELF as you go through treatment

• Reacquaint yourself with your values and take action with YOU in mind

• Develop strategies to help you navigate post-treatment life - re-integration into work-life, family roles etc.
