As Virginia Satir said, “we come together on the basis of our similarities, we grow on the basis of our differences.”
After 25 years of working with couples and families, I am passionate about guiding them towards embracing their flaws, as well as finding creative ways to transform them into their strengths.
I can't say enough amazing things about Gilza. I went through a very challenging experience in my life a year ago and because of her I'm in such a good place right now. Her compassion, honesty, and humor were exactly what I needed to get me through those tough moments. I wouldn't be where I am today without her!
