Counseling for Chronic Illness in the Bay Area, California and Puerto Rico.

You feel like no one sees the physical and emotional struggle related to your chronic illness.

You're trying to stay strong for your friends and family, but it's getting to be too much. You worry about being a burden when you have to ask for help more than you'd like.

Countless medical appointments, new medications, attempting to maintain some sort of normalcy while feeling frustrated, isolated and perhaps grieving the life you once knew.

You feel defeated when you can't attend social activities after you've said you'd go, but you're too exhausted.

You’re tired of feeling:

Angry and robbed of the future you had envisioned for yourself.
Like you’re being a burden when you have to ask for help more than you'd like.
Lost and that you don’t recognize your life since your chronic illness seems to have taken over so much of your life.
