Therapy for cancer and chronic illness
Walking with you during your most challenging time
Living with a serious medical condition like cancer or a chronic illness brings emotional challenges alongside physical ones — not just for the person diagnosed, but for the whole family.
Physical illness uproots the life you once knew, and your expectations for the future. It affects not only your body but your relationships, career, family, self-identity, and so much more.
I provide compassionate, age-appropriate therapy for children, teens, young adults, and families navigating the emotional impact of illness, treatment, and recovery. Whether you're coping with a new diagnosis, living with a long-term condition, adjusting to life after treatment, or grieving, therapy offers a safe space to process the emotional toll of illness.
Physical illness is not just physical.

Why “Vital Mind?”
“Vital” means “necessary to maintain life, essential, full, lively,” and is also a medical term describing the body’s most basic functions. “Vital mind” signifies the powerful mind-body connection, and necessity of keeping the mind healthy to cope with life’s stressors and enhance your quality of life.
