Coping With Medical Illness
I have a special interest in the relationship between emotional well-being and physical health and illness. Prior to beginning private practice, I served as an Assistant Professor and Director of Psycho-oncology Services at the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina
When someone is diagnosed with a medical condition, there is often a period of adjustment: to the diagnosis, treatment recommendations and control of symptoms and side effects of treatment. Significant worries, distress, sadness, difficulties with relationships as a result of changing roles and concerns about the future can be common struggles. Together, we can help you cope effectively as you navigate these health-related concerns.
