Your story, your risk, your way forward
You’ve known about your genetic mutation for a while, but right now it feels impossible to ignore.
Maybe it’s another round of screenings, a friend’s diagnosis, or a new life decision bringing everything to the surface. Living with hereditary cancer risk can feel like a roller coaster—sometimes in the background, sometimes spiking into fear, grief, and overwhelm.
You don’t have to ride those peaks alone.
In our work together, we’ll steady the ups and downs, so you have tools to ground yourself when the intensity returns. We’ll honor the waves of emotion that come with living in ongoing uncertainty, and help you reconnect to your own wisdom so you feel less pulled by fear and more anchored in choice.
You just got the news…
You’ve just learned you carry a genetic mutation, and the ground feels like it’s dropped out from under you. The words are still ringing in your ears, and suddenly your future looks different. You may feel shock, fear, anger—or nothing at all. You might wonder what this means for your health, your family, your choices, your life.
It can feel impossible to take in.
You don’t have to process this news alone. In therapy, we slow down the rush of information and make space for your emotions—whatever they are.
This is not about having all the answers. It’s about beginning the journey with compassion for yourself, and support at your side.
You can’t find the space to grieve…
Living with hereditary cancer risk often means carrying grief while being asked to make life-shaping choices. You may be mourning what has been lost—or fearing what could be—while at the same time trying to decide what is best for your body, your family, and your future.
It’s a lot to hold on your own.
Here, we make space for both. Together, we slow down, tend to the grief that deserves care, and also connect you to your own inner wisdom. The goal isn’t to erase uncertainty—it’s to help you find your path forward, rooted in clarity, compassion, and agency.
“Your medical team is on point, you need your emotional support to be as well ”
You’re trying to decide about IVF or fertility preservation…
You’re trying to decide if IVF, egg freezing, or fertility preservation is right for you. Maybe you feel the pressure of time, your doctors’ recommendations, or your family’s hopes. At the same time, you’re holding fears about passing on a genetic mutation—or if becoming a parent is even possible in the way you imagined.
It can feel like every option carries loss.
There is no right or wrong here, there is only learning to trust yourself and feeling into what is your choice.
You’re anxiety is at an all-time high…
You wake up with the worry already there. What if the scans show something? What if you wait too long? What if you make the wrong choice?
Anxiety can feel like it’s running your life—racing thoughts, a body that never quite relaxes, a future that feels impossible to plan for.
You don’t have to live in constant hyper-vigilance. Together, we can help your nervous system find steadiness again. Through somatic tools and relational support, we’ll work with the anxiety in your body—not just in your mind—so you can breathe more easily, sleep more deeply, and begin to trust yourself again.
Anxiety may not disappear, but it doesn’t have to control you. You can learn to carry risk without it carrying you
You don’t know whether you want risk reducing surgeries…
You’re not sure if you want to go through with surgery—or when. The choices feel overwhelming: removing healthy body parts, facing recovery, wondering how it will change how you look, feel, or relate to yourself. And then there’s the pressure: doctors urging a timeline, family members weighing in, the ticking clock of risk.
It’s no wonder you feel torn.
In therapy, you’ll have space to explore these questions without judgment or urgency. Together, we’ll make room for the grief, the fear, and the part of you that longs for safety. We’ll listen to your body as well as your thoughts, so your decision isn’t driven only by fear but rooted in what feels most aligned for you.
You don’t have to have the answer today. What matters is finding a way forward that honors your body, your story, and your sense of self.
If any of this sounds familiar…
