About
Love and dedication create change.
Ahava means LOVE in Hebrew.
Love is the foundation for connection, self love is the bedrock of growth.
As a sex therapist, a couples counselor, and a self proclaimed "love story junkie", I knew Ahava was the best name for my private practice. Without love for ourselves, we cannot create passion, interest, determination, self-regulation or emotional boundaries. Knowing how to love ourselves is the best path we can take for our families and our communities at large. Here at Ahava, we facilitate this learning and witness real change.
