Professional statement
Remember how you used to long for each other? Remember how you used to gaze lovingly into each other's eyes? Love was magical then. What makes those special desires fade? I believe you can keep that love alive! I have done extensive research on love and I am trained to show you how to have healthy romantic love relationships --- at any age!
Some other reasons people come to see me are: Learning to love yourself, enhancing self-esteem, gaining self-confidence and becoming empowered. Feeling good about one's self, gaining control over your life, managing stress, intimacy issues, anger, anxiety, sexuality, chronic illness, grief, infidelity or divorce are all specialties.
