There are times in life when it is so important and meaningful to just slow down and create space for reflection. This space looks different for many, but I thought I'd show up right here - right now and share this "behind the scenes" post. I have been quietly working on bringing a series of cancer support and expressive offerings to the community this upcoming fall. Details about these offerings | virtual & in-person| coming soon. Hope you stay connected to learn more about how Erin K. Brazill, LCSW, PLLC] is always here to support & empower individuals at any age navigating the cancer journey.
