Compassionate therapy for women navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, medical
uncertainty, and hereditary cancer risk (e.g., Previvors & Survivors)
What We Do:
-
For women processing past experiences that continue to shape how they feel, trust, or move through the world.
-
For women whose minds rarely slow down and they are constantly anticipating, preparing, or trying to stay one step ahead.
-
Support for women navigating loss, identity shifts, and the emotional weight of major life changes.
-
For individuals navigating genetic testing, medical decision-making, and the emotional reality of hereditary cancer risk (e.g., BRCA1, BRCA2, Lynch Syndrome, & Other Genetic Mutations).
As a therapist who specializes in hereditary cancer risk and previvor mental health, I support women navigating the emotional weight of long-term uncertainty.
-
For individuals coping with ongoing medical stress, difficult diagnoses, or the emotional impact of living with uncertainty about their health.
-
Support for women navigating fertility struggles, reproductive choices, and the complicated emotions that often come with them.
