No one in life is perfect, including me! Being able to identify, relate and empathize with you as my patient is probably one of my greatest strengths. The special relationship formed between you and I, ensuring trust, confidence, and ability to truly work through the issues are of utmost importance. I believe everyone has something to work through in their lives. By providing evidence based therapy and unconditional positive regard, I have been very effective in my treatment history and am open to us having a two way therapeutic relationship with feedback and growth through this process.

I am motivated to help people gain insight, find resolution, and discover a way to move forward by the end of session. It you choose to participate in long term therapy we can work at a deeper level by having a closer look at your difficult experiences, reprocess and integrate, and discover new ways to relate to the world and find ease and stability, In our sessions we will emphasize building self knowledge at a pace that is right for you, and discovering and updating your ways of coping. For some this process is concentrated in a small area of change, and for some achieving well being means looking at and adjusting multiple areas.

As a trauma therapist, I specialize in working with adults who suffer from the symptoms of traumatic stress or post traumatic stress disorder. The symptoms of trauma often include, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, nightmares and flashbacks, lack of concentration, ADD, binge eating and negative body image. All of these symptoms may be a result of unprocessed trauma that has become stuck in the mind and the body. There is a tremendous amount of promise in mental health healing available through trauma treatment.

Since childhood, I have held onto a core belief that despite immense struggles, every human can discover their innate joy and internal wisdom. I worked for several years with at-risk youth who were longing for a secure family bond. I honor the words of Brene Brown who writes "We are all deserving of love and belonging." As a therapist, I am passionate about promoting access to each of my client's healing and growth. I have over a decade of working as a hospice social worker, I learned of the power of a gentle presence, listening, and affirming every individual's life journey.

I have been in practice for over 35 years. I weave my Psychotherapy to suit the person that I am working with. Trained in numerous modalities, I respect and work with the psycho-socio-biological and spiritual parts of the person. Developing the therapeutic relationship and cultivating trust are primary in my work with my clients. Intuition, Perceptiveness and Energy Fields guide me as well. My strong interest with Trauma Work comes from my belief that we all have been traumatized in different ways. Being in the womb, leaving the womb and the birthing process are the beginnings of trauma.

I work with survivors of PTSD and Complex trauma, including relationship trauma and dissociation disorders. Common issues my clients present with include challenges with setting relationship boundaries with friends and family, coping with intense emotions, and an inability to be decisive in small or big life choices. Many are survivors of sexual or physical childhood abuse. Others say "childhood wasn't that bad," but have an intense inner critic and struggle with attracting and maintaining positive relationships and occupations, and are often unaware of the impact of emotional neglect and harsh criticism they experienced.

Aloha, Are you or your loved ones struggling with anxiety, depression, or chronic pain? Do you find yourself compulsively eating, drinking, working, or seeking relationships in order to fill the inner void? Do you and your partner sometimes get caught in a negative interaction pattern that prevents you from experiencing love and intimacy? I have years of education, training, and clinical experiences to help you process painful emotions, learn new skills, and find new ways of connecting with self, others, and the world. I am licensed in Hawaii and California to see clients from both states.

Life has its difficult moments, whether it be switching jobs, moving somewhere new, or dealing with recurring issues in your relationships. Change, even if it is positive and expected, can be tough and it can feel like certain aspects are out of our control. Stress, worry, sadness, even anger are the responses to our perceived ability to cope with what we are facing. I believe that when we feel more in control of our lives, the better we feel about our situation, the people around us, and ourselves.

Under any weather conditions, where rough seas and rugged shores collide, there stands a lighthouse signaling: “This way home; this way to safety.” (Monson) Under any life conditions, when our body, heart, mind, or spirit may collide with harsh reality, there comes a guiding signal from our inner lighthouse. Without such guidance, we may find ourselves lost, alone, hurt, discouraged, and ultimately dis-empowered in any aspect of our lives. Compassionate, collaborative therapy allows us to recognize and rely on our inner guidance as one of the key turning points towards self-empowerment, support, healing, success, and happiness.

Aloha! I believe our value system determines our priorities, guides our interactions with others, establishes our behavior and is centered around our culture and traditions. The desire to connect with others is built within each of us and loneliness is one of the worst feelings for anyone to experience. It’s unnatural and painful, because we are hardwired to attach and depend. Often, we get stuck in patterns of isolation and distress. I strive to empower my clients to process their barriers to connection and start to nurture their relationship with themselves, as well as, important relationships around them.
