Sister Marian will help you with either a faith-based approach if you are open to it with Biblical references or she will use her years of experience and counseling with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy backed by insight and worksheets or a combination of all to help you come to a peaceful understanding or resolve the situations at hand. I would recommend her.
