ABOUT GAVRIEL
Background & Motivation
Gavriel Tornek is an American expat living with his wife and children in Israel. He has an extensive background in Jewish meditation. He is an ordained rabbi and trained therapist who works with couple’s relationship difficulties and anxiety issues. During Gavriel’s rabbinical career he was faced with many individual and family problems that were brought to him by people in the community.

Common Needs
Gavriel believes that individuals in relationships want to feel more connected with each other and when there are prior wounds, triggers, and habits that undermine that connection it feels like each of the spouses world is being pulled apart. The need for positive and healthy communication is important but mainly the specific type of communication that creates connection between the individuals in the relationship. Couples will feel closer with each other when they learn to use uniting communication and rebuild trust in each other. Even if one of you is willing to come to therapy, it can still have a profound effect on the relationship dynamic.
Individuals will benefit from learning proactive non-judgmental self-talk. Gavriel brings this message to his clients in a clear and implemental manner as it relates to each person and relationship.
