Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife is an LDS relationship and sexuality coach with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. Her teaching and coaching focus on helping LDS individuals and couples achieve greater satisfaction and passion in their emotional and sexual relationships. Her knowledge, expertise, and resources are meaningful to broader audiences as well.
Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife is a parent of a 23-year-old autistic son and together we discuss how raising neurodivergent children may require a shift in the way we think about parenting. Parenting a child with a disability requires us to acknowledge that our child does not exist to reinforce us. The goal is to meet the needs of our individual children and to accept and embrace them for who they are. Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife discusses how truly loving our children may require some internal work on our part as parents.
Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife focuses on marriage and intimacy and has worked with hundreds of couples to help them see themselves more clearly as individuals within their marital relationships. If you would like to learn more about Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife and her work, you can find her at:
