Wed 9:00AM HST/12:00PM PST. Prior to contact, please check the in-network insurance list below. Resistance to the very normal experience of suffering, as if something has gone terribly wrong, is natural. We become disconnected from the fullness of our experience and ourselves; the mind, body and our relationships. We practice inclining toward your experience and yourself in these areas with curiosity, cultivating tenderness, interconnectedness, and wise attention. Within all of us these precious core values have a capacity to hold space and a sense of wholeness that runs deeper than our problems.

I believe we navigate the waters of life by constantly adjusting to subtle and profound changes, much like tacking a sailboat or steering a kayak in order to keep moving ahead. How we experience those changes -- as loss or opportunity, with sadness or joy -- determines the course we will follow. While each of us must make the individual choice of how to move forward, I believe we are all in this together. No one need navigate alone. The process of counseling is to support the planning of the trip ahead, and to help navigate the waters of life.

Kailua Kona, HI 96740 (Online Only)
I was raised on the beautiful Big Island of Hawai’i and served for years as a high school teacher in Kona. I love working with youth and their families and decided to pursue a graduate degree in mental health counseling to serve this community’s youth in a different way. I specialize in working with children/ teens (ages 3-18) and their families, particularly those with a history of trauma. I believe long-term change happens within the family system, and I try to involve parents and caregivers consistently throughout the treatment process because of this.

Are you overwhelmed, constantly comparing yourself and feeling like you don’t measure up? Anxiety and depression symptoms are common today, especially in women. I work with women individually and with their children ages 0-5, if needed. As an Infant Mental Health Clinician our work together we will reflect on your earliest experiences and relationships to find thought, feeling and behavior patterns that could be impacting you in your relationships today. If you and your child have experienced loss, separation or other big experiences together, I can work with both of you to reestablish safety and secure attachment.

Feeling stuck and overwhelmed? Burned out? You’re doing your best to support others - your family, your friends, your kids, your work, your house, maybe even your pets. It can be physically and emotionally exhausting. You may be telling yourself if you were only smart enough, strong enough, just ENOUGH then somehow you could figure all of this out.
