Managing Anxiety in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

Leigh is a licensed independent clinical social worker and is affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital. Some of what she can offer to families include helping people become more self-aware, helping people cope and manage challenges, and providing resources for an individual or their family. Some concerns people often bring to her are coping with anxiety and depression, concerns about relationships, or concerns about decision making. Leigh’s favorite part of her day to day is having the opportunity to talk with patients about their lives and learning how she can support them, helping them identify their strengths and building those strengths, and helping them become their best selves. Leigh has been working with people with TSC for ~18 years. She loves helping patients with TSC to understand their needs, to set goals, and work towards those goals. Leigh’s goals for the upcoming year include continuing the TSC adult support group and starting the TSC young adult support group.
