Want to Work on Building Healthy Relationships?

Hi, I’m Edith Block and I specialize in relationship building and connecting with others. This means I prioritize relationships in all aspects of the work.

Your relationships are extremely important to you and can be challenging at times. Relationships take work, just like everything else we want to be successful with in our lives.

  • Perhaps you feel disconnected from friends, family or partners.

  • Maybe you don’t express your needs in fear that others may not listen or understand them, or worse!

  • Possibly you struggle with how to set effective boundaries.

  • Perhaps it’s all so overwhelming and scary that you simply avoid these things…which may leave you feeling resentful, lonely, and dissatisfied.

Based on your goals, together, we can identify what approaches may be most useful and effective for you!
