Do you or someone you love have cancer? This isn't the life you planned for. Every priority you had changed in an instant. Perhaps you are feeling a flood of shock, sadness, fear, anger, confusion, anxiety, and depression. It is hard to talk with friends and family members. Many just don't understand what you're going through. You feel you need to be strong all the time - to guard everyone from how you really feel. You don't know what to do. Sadly, friends drift away. Scans, biopsies, labs, and treatments are relentless, and you fear it may come back one day.
Talking honestly about your mixed emotions with a trusted other relieves pressure and confusion. It can reveal unexpected strength and hope. You are invited to explore your cancer story without judgement or expectation in a warm and safe relationship, and if you choose, with a group of others like you. You don't have to go through it alone.
Please call for a free 15-minute consultation to see if you'd like to work with me or join my free weekly support group. Let me help you explore how cancer has changed your life and search for meaning, purpose and connection.

FREE Support Group for Patients with Cancer
This is a one hour, FREE, virtual, co-ed support group that welcomes you to engage in giving and receiving mutual aid with peers. You will find support, not feel so alone, and feel joy from helping others in their cancer journeys. You do not need to pretend or minimize your pain here. You will be free to laugh and to cry. You can be yourself here and ask questions of fellow cancer patients. Registration is required. Email me for semester dates. There are seven sessions each fall, winter, and spring. Guest speakers, too.
