Psychological Support

Individual psychotherapy for those affected by cancer, including patients and loved ones. Issues addressed include:

  • Coping with medical diagnosis, treatment, and side effects

  • Understanding your “new normal”

  • Managing emotional, physical, cognitive and social challenges

  • Feeling out of sync with age-peers due to delay in career development, family formation, or other milestones

  • Healthy ways to deal with depression

  • Handling anxiety about medical procedures, scheduled scans, and fear regarding mortality

Collateral contact with family members and healthcare team members as needed.

I’ve developed and conducted support groups for breast cancer survivors at Young Survival Coalition and Mount Sinai Beth Israel.
