People use therapy to help change themselves or deal with life challenges. Oftentimes, therapy may involve revealing significant parts of ourselves, our relationships, or life circumstances. Therapy can help reduce or alleviate problems to help us live more fulfilling lives. Therapy is a partnership between you and me. Together, we identify the goals of your treatment, we work on skills, and we resolve to improve ourselves and our life conditions. I believe there are various ways to approach issues. My experience and belief is that many of our life’s challenges and pains stem from the way we think about ourselves and the world.

I believe that beneath every symptom that creates our suffering is a wise, healthy, and whole Self yearning to break free of old shackles and guide us home to the person we are meant to be. In this way, I help clients to reconceptualize their issues as road signs that are guiding them on their path of healing; just the same way that physical symptoms like a fever or ache directs us to an ailment that needs addressing, so too do psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, or addictions, point to a deeper underlying wound that is calling to be healed. Our goal is to not simply survive, but thrive.

Aloha, and thank you for taking a look at my profile. Feeling stuck? Not sure what narrative about you or this life you should focus on? Intention and manifestation are important pieces, as is acceptance and presence with all of a persons parts. Bringing shadow parts into the light, letting go of attachment to circumstance, along with self inquiry enables the transition to happen. Accessing this inner liberation, equips us to handle more effectively what is happening in our personal lives and in the world around us collectively.

It has been my experience that an important component of successful therapy is the therapeutic relationship that gets formed.
I enjoy working with most people, and find that I am effective to the extent that a safe and trusting space can be created where my client is able to communicate whatever they need to without fear of judgement.
I have also found that I am not able to be of any help at all, unless my client is invested in their healing process, willing to do the work that's involved, and is not looking for their therapist to tell them what to do.
