     As a holistic and trilingual therapist, Nika tailors her approach to each client’s unique strengths, using them as a foundation for personal growth and healing. She is trained in the Gottman Method, specializing in helping couples prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance intimacy, and improve communication.
