Healing happens in

relationship.

From managing our own baggage
and expectations, to learning how to
accept and respect when you and
a loved one need different things,
developing healthy adult relationships
is perhaps the most complex task of our lives.

And sometimes, being in relationship is freakin’ hard!
So how do we get from hard to healing?

Do any of these below phrases feel familiar to you? If so, we might be a good fit.

"But that happened ages ago, what does it matter now?"

"You say you care about me, but I don't feel like you do."

"Our fights have us going in circles, and it's exhausting."

"I'm trying to fix things, but I can't seem to ever get it right with you."

"I don't understand where this is coming from."

“I’m just not sure this relationship is worth it anymore.”

"Why is it so hard to connect anymore?"
