I work with people suffering from various mental health conditions: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, or grieving a loss. In my 25 years as a therapist, I have worked with patients from diverse cultural, racial, and socio-economic backgrounds. In the recent years, my focus has been psychotherapy, support and psycho-education for people with acute or chronic medical conditions. The achievements of modern medicine do not replace attention to potentially devastating psychological effects of being sick, yet doctors often overlook or ignore them, leaving us to cope with fear, loneliness, and critical decisions to make.
My own experience of overcoming a serious medical condition gave me deep understanding of what it means to be sick. A presence of a knowledgeable and compassionate person can be invaluable and sometimes life-saving. I try to be that person, supporting people and their relatives on the journey of fear, uncertainty, and despair.
Whether it is Crohn’s disease, a stroke, or the shock of cancer diagnosis, severe medical problems not only damage our body but often take away the sense of who we are. A serious disease changes the course of our life and the lives of our family. I help my patients to find a way back to themselves and learn to live again.
