It’s not “just skin cancer.”
You Don’t Have to Face This Alone: Psychotherapy for Those Living with Skin Cancer
By someone who truly understands—from the inside out.
Have you just heard the words no one ever wants to hear?
Maybe you’re feeling numb. Or maybe your thoughts won’t stop racing:
“What does this mean?”
“Will I be okay?”
“How do I even begin to talk about this with my family?”
“What if I look fine on the outside, but everything inside is changing?”
As a psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience, and as someone who was recently diagnosed with melanoma, I want to offer something more than just talk therapy.
If you have been diagnosed with skin cancer and are ready to face this life-changing experience with courage and honesty, I will walk with you to be a steady companion as you find your way through.
Together, we will explore how this illness is affecting not just your body, but your heart, your mind, and your spirit. I will help you see patterns in how you respond to stress, fear, and uncertainty, and guide you in choosing responses that strengthen your sense of peace and personal power.
You are going to need someone who sees you and tells you the truth, I offer a space where you can be fully human. Sometimes that means sitting with grief or fear. Other times, it means finding unexpected strength or joy. I will encourage you to stay present, to ask deeper questions, and to live with meaning, even in the midst of difficulty.
If you are looking for someone who will honor your struggle while gently guiding you as you grow through it, I will meet you there. Not to fix you, because you aren’t broken. This is to help you reconnect with the wholeness that is still yours.
Why This Matters Now
Cancer doesn’t just impact your skin or your cells. It touches every part of your life:
Your identity.
Your relationships.
Your sense of safety.
Your future.
You might notice people around you not knowing what to say. Or saying too much.
You might find yourself pretending you're okay just to make others comfortable.
What if this didn’t have to be a time of just surviving—but a space for true clarity, healing, and growth, even in the middle of uncertainty?
Questions Worth Asking
How do I stay grounded when everything feels unpredictable?
How do I navigate the emotional waves without going under?
Can I reconnect with my body when it suddenly feels like a threat?
How do I talk to the people I love about what’s really going on?
What if this becomes a moment that transforms me—not just wounds me?
