A cancer diagnosis can bring on many different feelings and issues. Some of these include: anxiety, anger, depression, isolation, fear around death and dying, managing treatment side effects (hair loss, fatigue, and “chemo brain”), fertility and egg harvesting, sexualit, body imaging, dating and intimacy, returning to work during treatment, talking to children and loved ones about cancer, and symptoms related to PTSD (post traumatic stress).

 

Jennifer also specializes in counseling for women who are BRCA+ (diagnosed and prophylactic decisions), women diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy, and women diagnosed 45 and under.
