Many times we find ourselves off balance in our lives. Chronic illness, anxiety, depression, and life changes can knock our worlds upside-down and have us feeling out of control. My clients seek help putting their lives back in balance. If chronic illness is a factor, we need to have a safe space to grieve our old selves, the space to be angry at circumstances, and the space to be mindful and rebuild our new normal. It is hard to cope with the idea that your whole life can change in an instant by a medical diagnosis. It is important that clients realize they don't have to go through this alone.
