Therapists in Hawaii

Are you experiencing stress or uncertainty. Do you feel overwhelmed or stuck? Change is a critical part of life, but sometimes we need support to navigate that change. By working together to foster better understanding of the issues at hand and create forward movement, balance can be restored and potential realized. Good mental health is more than the absence of symptoms, it is a robust sense of mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. If you would like to reach a state of positive mental health or work through some issues that are throwing you off your game, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!

Psychological trauma occurs when our level of stress exceeds our ability to cope with that stress. This often creates a disregulated nervous system (stuck in "fight-or-flight" survival mode) that may show up as feeling anxious or depressed, ADHD, memory issues, confusion, dissociation, or just feeling stuck. I specialize in helping womxn who have had abuse from narcissistic men. This type of romantic relationship is known as a "pathological love relationship" (PLR). I'd like to help you recover and become your best self again.

Accepting new clients. Looking to bring yourself into more holistic internal alignment? Want to work on attaining the goals you set out for yourself?

Could you benefit from some extra support so you can get back on track to focus on things that are important, so that you spend less time, energy dealing with STRESS? Do you need a place to process things going on with you without the bias that can occur when talking to friends and family? The therapeutic setting can give you the opportunity to learn and grow. With these paradigm shifts, or new ways of approaching situations, individuals can often experience greater life satisfaction. I would enjoy the opportunity to accompany you on this journey.

Do you struggle with intrusive thoughts, distressing memories, and anxiety? EMDR therapy helps to effectively process trauma and allows you to live you life with more ease and regulation. I work with adults and teens to relieve symptoms of PTSD, OCD, addiction, and insomnia. If you have tried talk therapy but still struggle, I welcome you to try EMDR. I utilize ego-state parts work and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy as needed. Throughout the healing process, you will notice increased self-trust and a natural release of old coping strategies. You deserve to live life fully, free from the distraction and pain of old wounds.

Now offering tele-therapy sessions. If you and your family are experiencing a challenging situation or if you want to make some changes in your life, as related to your relationships and may be looking for some help with figuring out where to start, let's talk. If life is getting harder and you lack motivation to make changes, we can talk about how making even small changes will help you get back on track. Together we'll figure out how to do this. I'm trained in cutting edge modalities such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Clinical Hypnosis and Brief Therapy.

Welcome. I provide trauma-focused, compassionate, and creative psychotherapy. I am here to help you work through current symptoms, heal trauma impact, build nervous system regulation skills and strengthen the self. My intent is to make therapy an effective and meaningful experience, so that you can feel more connected to yourself and have more resilience to meet life's challenges and opportunities.

When meeting for the first time, you'll be greeted with a smile and a curiosity to understand you as a whole person. We'll talk about your experiences, strengths, thoughts, behaviors, habits, and relationships that shape you. We'll then discuss your goals for therapy and collaborate on a treatment plan to meet your needs. There is no one size fits all for therapy. It’s part science and part art. The science of therapy is using research supported interventions that have been proven to work. While the art of therapy is tailoring these interventions to you and your unique needs and strengths.

Do you struggle with low self-worth, addiction, or intrusive thoughts? EMDR allows you to live your life with more ease and regulation by processing trauma, reducing negative self-talk, and neutralizing cravings. I work with adults and teens to relieve symptoms of PTSD, OCD, addiction, and insomnia. I utilize Hakomi style somatic interventions and IFS internal family systems/ego-state "parts work" and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy as needed. Throughout the healing process, you will notice increased self-trust and a release of old coping strategies. You deserve to live life fully, free from the distraction and pain of old wounds.

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.
