Often individuals have difficulties in forming and maintaining the close and positive relationships they desire with a partner, family members, and friends.  It is important to understand what causes these difficulties, and how to address these issues.

Some of these issues could include:

• Feeling misunderstood and disconnected
• Problems with being assertive and setting boundaries
• Frequently attracting the same type of partner
• Acting against one’s own better judgment for the sake of having a relationship
• Feeling emotionally distant
• Struggling to overcome hurt, anger, or mistrust in relationships
• Fearful to commit to a long-term relationship

How we can help:

• Explore what it is you would like and need from a relationship
• Communicate more effectively, with clarity and honesty
• Letting go of the past, accept, and grow into a new stage in your life
• Working through disagreements and conflict situations which leaves all parties feeling heard
• Work through disagreements or differences to turn disagreements into opportunities for growth
• Learning to become assertive and communicating your needs
