Anna Duemler, MS, CGC

Anna Duemler is a cancer genetic counselor with a clinical interest in genetic cancer predispositions.

Her approach to patient care centers on recognizing and addressing the emotional and psychological hurdles that arise when individuals discover they have a genetic predisposition to cancer. She understands that this news can be overwhelming, often leading to a whirlwind of feelings such as fear, anxiety, and uncertainty about the future. By providing a supportive environment, she helps patients process their emotions and equips them with the tools to navigate their unique situations. This includes offering resources for coping strategies, facilitating discussions about family implications, and guiding them through the decision-making process regarding preventive measures or screenings. Her goal is to empower patients, ensuring they feel informed and supported as they face the complexities of their diagnosis.

When not at work, Duemler enjoys reading, crafting with friends and spending time with her cat.
