Mars & Venus Relationship Counseling

I support patients in learning to translate the words and feelings between themselves and the people in their lives to help them understand and accept each other.  Patients learn to communicate their needs, get past reactivity, and truly listen.

I have trained with world-renowned experts in mind, body, and spiritual philosophies and therapy modalities. I have trained extensively with Dr. John Gray, author of the Mars & Venus Books, and many other titles. 

It is with profound gratitude that I acknowledge Dr. John Gray.  His ground-breaking work on personal success and the Mars & Venus philosophy has enhanced my life personally and professionally.  His enthusiasm and sincere interest in healthy living and relationships continue to inspire and transform the lives of many people worldwide.  I opened the Mars & Venus Counseling Center in Hawaii on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1997.  I am certified as a Mars & Venus Counselor and Facilitator.
