I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Helping Women on the Breast Cancer Journey

Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, whether for yourself or a loved one, can be incredibly distressing. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed by worry, anxiety, and even depression. As someone who has thrived after my own breast cancer journey, I deeply understand the devastation and struggle that come with this news, including the negative thoughts and emotions that can challenge your faith. But I also know that recovery, hope, and victory are possible. This journey isn't easy, but you and your loved ones have the strength to overcome it.

With over 20 years of professional practice and personal experience, I offer uniquely compassionate and impactful therapy. Specializing in trauma-focused therapies like EMDR, I help women on the breast cancer journey and their loved ones resolve distressing symptoms, process emotional trauma, and build resilience. I often use EMDR to help patients begin their healing journey and feel relief from their symptoms. If you seek faith-based counseling, I will provide a welcoming space to integrate your spiritual beliefs into your therapy, promoting healing on all levels. My specialized support for cancer patients and caregivers provides tailored services, fostering a sense of community and understanding.

No matter where you are, talking with a professional who truly understands can make a big difference. I’m here to help you and your family navigate this challenging time. Reach out to schedule a free consultation by visiting hopelacenter.com. Let's take this journey together.


**I currently offer therapy sessions via telehealth on designated evenings and weekends. Currently, I am out of network for most insurance, but I can help verify your out-of-network benefits. I use a service that automatically submits superbills for you and allows you to only pay your co-insurance for my sessions. This could save you on average 70 percent of my full rate per session.
