Greetings sunshine! Since the pandemic, there has been an increase in marital woes and discontent. I believe wholeheartedly in acknowledging, processing, and identifying triggers and being honest with our mates about what "our new normal," looks like and how external stressors add to marriage conflict. For those who are contemplating marriage, please consider having those difficult conversations in an effort to be proactive versus reactive. Finally, for families in conflict, consider making today the first day of changes, though small, that are needed to navigate into a better future.
I will listen. I will present truth wrapped in compassion, sprinkled with gentleness, and offer encouragement as you contemplate your next steps. I understand grief, depression, anxiety, and trauma as it relates to family conflict, marital woes, sexism, homophobia, and racism. Let's talk and make today the best day of our lives.
I can't promise you that I have all the answers to your trauma and relationship/family woes. However, I can assure you that I will always be present, willing to "think outside the box," and have a strengths perspective.
