One of the messages Dr. Chaves says, “An important aspect of examining ourselves in relationships is exploring how our feelings interact with our desires and I encourage people to find a comfort level within themselves.  Whether it is intimacy, love, friendship, self-esteem, or commitment, we all have the power to enhance these aspects of our lives and find the path to self-discovery. One of life’s great journeys is to take the person that we are and walk the path to who we want to become.”
