Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, an LDS relationship and sexuality coach with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, discusses how we all want security in our lives, marriage, society and often in religious beliefs. Often the “rule” becomes the most important thing which then creates tension and frays our freedom and structure. Instead of allowing honesty and courage to drive us, we resort to making others happy, which causes us to fracture.

Dr. Jennifer discusses how individuals and couples can achieve greater satisfaction and passion in their emotional and sexual relationships, to foster self- and sexual-development, create happier intimate relationships, as well as happier individuals, despite social consequences by becoming self aware and understanding our choices.

If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group. We also offer free 30-minute fitting calls for our coaching program. You do not have to walk through your mental health struggle alone. Because as always, together is better!
