COUPLES AND INTIMACY
CONSULTING
Blocks to intimacy come in many forms. These sessions are meant to help individuals and couples identify some of these blocks, and to examine cultural messages from home, school, and institutional input that shape how we enter into relationship. Catered to each couple or individual's religious, secular, or spiritual needs these are one on one or two on one sessions that ensure a dramatic shift in love and sex.
