RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING

Is your life filled with love?
Do you feel happy most of the time?
Are you excited about each new day?
Do you enjoy the present and look forward to the future?

How we feel about ourselves and our relationships can be experienced through our daily interactions and our internal responses to them. If we feel cheated or deprived, unhappy, stuck, fearful or depressed-it is because we are not connected to the loving part of ourselves. What does this mean? We need to sort out how we perceive what is “good” and learn how to hold onto it.

The more you can “fill up” your own container of love-the better chances are that you can bring love into your life. The first steps in discovering love lies within you. Ask yourself, do you punish or reward yourself for your actions? Do you graciously receive compliments or ignore them?  How you perceive the idea of love- what is “good”-is precisely what your world reflects back to you.

If you want more love in your life, then you must figure out through insight, and with support, how to define love, how to rectify it and finally, how to treasure and hold onto it.

CAREER COUNSELING

Are you doing what you are meant to be doing in life?
Do you enjoy your work?
Are you looking for a new career?
Do you feel sufficiently challenged by your career choice?

Sometimes it’s difficult to connect with those we love-and thereby lack the support that this connection can offer. The choices we make in our career paths are similar to those choices we make in our interpersonal relationships. Our work is also a reflection of how we feel about ourselves. Our career path is a manifestation of both our capabilities and beliefs in what we deserve as evidenced by the magnitude of the accompanying pay level.

Whether we shy away from work or a more pleasurable job, because of our fears; or we overwork to avoid other negative aspects in our lives; or we struggle with financial problems-it is possible to reverse this and to be both happy and successful. All you need is to dare to believe.

You can obtain a more promising future through the exploration, insight and support in uncovering the obstacles that are blocking you from emotional and financial satisfaction.

INTIMACY AND SEX THERAPY

Is your sex life gratifying?
Have you found your ideal mate?
Do you feel understood and loved by your partner, the way you want to be?
Do you ever wonder if it’s possible to make your present relationship better? Have it work the way you need it to?

Our partners are our “gifts”. They afford us the opportunity to look at ourselves and connect with our deepest heartfelt desires. They can also tap into certain aspects of ourselves that force us to “shut down”. The only thing that stands in our way of truly gratifying, intimate relationships-sexually and emotionally-is fear.

Fear is what “shuts down” our capacity to get what we want from our partners. When we are fearful, we are powerless to achieve our dreams and create the kind of intimate, loving relationships that we are seeking. If we can begin to look at our lack of intimacy or sexual fulfillment as something “we contribute” to-it is possible to change the course of our current relationship or future ones.

Through exploration, coupled with courage and desire-you can have the kind of sex and intimacy you’ve always wanted.
