It’s been a little quiet around here! I’ve been busy growing a human . I also wanted to share some of these women in business in @bixbyknolls that I was featured with. Despite my ever growing physique, trying my best to stay involved in the community before I go on maternity leave in a couple months. Happy Thursday!

A good reminder! The week before Christmas always feels a little a little hectic. Slow down when you need to and take care of yourself . #justbreathe #selfcare #inhaleexhale #therapyoffice #therapy #longbeach #mentalhealth

It’s been quite a while since I last posted! I don’t have many words to share today, but do want to leave you with some green beauty. This is Brit. And she’s a survivor . #plantmom #nogreenthumb #somehowshelives

I have to give credit to a client who reminded me that it’s okay to reroute when we take a wrong turn. The destination will be the same, the path just might not be what we expected it to be and that’s okay. Keep on keeping on. And when you get stuck, reroute! P.S.

We never fight, is rarely an indication of a healthy relationship. This can often mean there are things left unsaid, things being swept under the rug, or one or both partners not thinking it’s worth it to bring things up. It’s not about how much or how little you argue. It’s about how often you come back together and resolve the issues. Choosing each other, again and again. _____________________________________... "Nunca peleamos", rara vez es una indicación de una relación sana. Esto a menudo puede significar que hay cosas que no se dicen, cosas que se esconden debajo de la alfombra o que uno o ambas personas en la relación no creen que valga la pena mencionarlo. No se trata de cuánto o qué poco discutes. Se trata de la frecuencia con la que vuelven otra vez y resuelven los problemas. Eligiéndose uno al otro de nuevo, una y otra vez. #love #amor #relationships #couplesgoals #marriagecounseling #couplestherapy #terapiamatrimonial #latinxtherapy #spanish #couplesgoals #wellness #mentalhealth #psychotherapy #counseling #terapia #consejería

Exploring and understanding love languages is often one of the most helpful and transformative conversations I have with my clients. It can be so easy to focus on the things that are missing and completely ignore all the other ways our partner shows us how much they care. Questions to help you identify these other love languages in action:... Is there anything my partner takes care of for me because they know how much I dislike it? When I need my partner, does he prioritize me? Does he always show up? Does my partner remember things I like or dislike? Does he keep my preferences in mind when making decisions? Does my partner provide his or her time for me? Is my partner willing to do things they don’t enjoy simply because it makes me happy? Does my partner work hard and often long hours to provide for us? Does my partner take care of my comfort at home (household chores or meals)? I encourage you to look past the generally accepted and expected definition of romance (flowers, gifts, loving words). To recognize for a moment the many other ways your partner shows their love and appreciation.

Is falling out of love a good enough reason to end a relationship? Not always. Love alone does not fuel a relationship. Full respect living and doing what you can to meet each other's needs does. At some point in your relationship you were warm, kind, and patient. In the safety of that loving space, your partner reciprocated those things. What changed? Read more about how you can start to bring back that loving feeling by changing three simple things. ... #love #fallinginlove #outoflove #fullrespectliving #conflictresolution #sparksfly #routine #3things #couplescounseling #terapiamatrimonial #wellness
