I’m a clinical social worker who supports our patients at Memorial Hospital. I care for people being treated for head and neck cancermelanoma, and sarcoma

I work to build a relationship with you and your family, so that you feel comfortable talking with me. When I meet with you, we’ll explore your emotional and practical concerns about your diagnosis.  

Here are some common questions and concerns I hear from my patients: 

  • How do I cope with uncertainty personally and professionally?
  • How do I navigate my cancer treatment while also balancing parenting or work? 
  • How do I deal with feeling left behind by my peers as a young adult?

Together, we will explore what matters most to you. I aim to support you in a way that leaves you feeling understood and cared for as a person and not just as a patient.   

When I’m not working, I enjoy dabbling in many hobbies and hosting friends.
