Andy*

had two dreams in life; running marathons and becoming a journalist. But then lung cancer came along and stole his breath. In a moment, his dreams were dashed, and with them, his sense of purpose. He felt utterly defeated – like he was in a battle, he couldn’t win. Even when surrounded by people, he felt all alone in his struggles. No one seemed to understand what he was going through. This illness ravaged not only his body, but his spirit as well. He felt so lost and hopeless.

Carla*

had been fighting cancer for several years, and the treatments had taken a toll. She was physically weak, emotionally drained, and struggled to get through each day. Carla had come to accept that her condition might not be curable and resigned herself to this being a long-term fight. Seeing the damage, her illness inflicted on her loved ones was so painful. She felt trapped in a body working against her and couldn’t figure out how to regain some sense of normalcy.

Samantha*

received the devastating news that she had only weeks to live. The doctors assured her there was no hope for improvement. The staggering weight of terminal illness crushed her spirit, leaving her feeling helpless against her fate. She stood at the brink of death, trying to make sense of the unfathomable enormity of it all. It broke her heart to think about leaving her family and loved ones behind. The unknown awaited, and it was terrifying.

When we are no longer able to change a situation,
we are challenged to change ourselves.

– Viktor Frankl

There is a way forward.

You’ve done your best trying to change things outside yourself, to no avail.

But life can improve if you find the strength to look inwards.

And therapy can help you find meaning no matter how difficult your current
circumstances may feel right now.

More About Me

had enough and reached out to me for help. Together, we focused on what brought him meaning in life. By tapping into his purpose, we found energy where no one thought there was any. Although he no longer runs marathons, he continues to run three-mile races (achieving a fantastic pace). He’s taken a break from his job but has started a project of his own that brings him significant joy. He’s begun to lean more on family and friends when times get difficult and no longer feels like he has to face it all on his own.

Andy

learned that her illness was no longer life-threatening, but it was incurable and something she’d have to manage for the rest of her life. She reached out to me for support. It was difficult for her to delegate much energy to her mental well-being when she was so physically drained already. In our sessions, she learned that she suffered from Cancer-Related Fatigue. Once diagnosed, we were able to provide her with the appropriate medication. Now she has her energy back and can live a more normal life again.

Carla

was still reeling from the news of her prognosis when she called me. We met every day for the last two weeks of her life. Years earlier, she and her father had become estranged, and she wanted to make amends in the time she had left. Together, we worked through her issues with him, eventually allowing him to visit with her. After some time together, they were able to heal their relationship. He didn’t leave her side until she passed away, surrounded by her loved ones.

Samantha

Don’t live at the mercy of your diagnosis.

Andy, Carla, and Samantha made the powerful commitment to live in the present moment with full
responsibility and authenticity. You can do it, too.

Don’t waste any more time living less than the life you deserve. Call now, and let’s get started.
