Why I specialize in cancer
Working as an oncology social worker opened my eyes to the critical need for emotional and psychosocial support alongside medical treatment. I noticed that even when treatment was effective, emotional struggles could still impact a patient’s progress. This highlighted a persistent gap in our healthcare system. Supportive care plays a profound role in outcomes, encompassing so many essential facets that often go unaddressed.
What Jasper patients have said about working with me
“I am so thrilled to have Lindsey to talk to for support through my cancer. She offers me solutions in addition to compassion.”
I spent a lot of time in hospitals growing up due to my brother's chronic illness, and I witnessed firsthand how the lack of emotional support affected my entire family. This experience inspired me to become a social worker and, specifically, to work in a hospital setting where I could make a meaningful difference.
