I assist couples as well as individuals to improve their communication and relationship skills. Honesty and respect for ourselves and others is the key to successful outcome.I implement the Gottman method in relationship therapy and believe that this approach can successfully improve any relationship. It is very applicable in situations where mediation and/or co parenting is indicated. I have experience in cross cultural concerns, abuse and domestic violence situations, depression, anxiety and trauma related situations.
I specialize in Gottman Relationship skills. I implement Client Centered, Existential and Cognitive Behavioral interventions. I believe in the importance of positive Communication and Mindfullness to find Solutions. Assertive communication is the key to find peace and inner healing. Please call me at (808) 938 6842 for a free consultation.
