Monthly Ostomy Gathering: Psychologist

Our monthly gathering is scheduled for next Monday, March 18 at 6:30 pm.

Our featured speaker will be Dr. Sandra G. Lopez, MS., MFT., Ph.D., a local family therapist and clinical psychologist.

Dr. Lopez has been in private practice in Woodinville for over 20 years. She has a Masters of Science degree in Marriage & Family Therapy and a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology.

Her presentation will be:

• Being an Ostomate, Knowing an Ostomate
• Self caring, Care giving and the adjustments for both

She will briefly highlight the needs and adjustments that the individual person (ostomate) with a serious illness and subsequent treatment faces, and the need to self advocate and self-care.

“We (ostomate and caregiver) have a journey and a story to not only survive, but to live as best we can.

We/you are not alone.

It takes a village!”

As usual, the gathering will be held in the Snohomish County PUD Electric Building Headquarters at 2320 California St. in Everett.
