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. I focus on the parts, the pieces to bring together the wholeness and happiness that are there, just is sometimes challenging to tap into or tap back into.

Aloha, are you needing support and looking for freedom from internal strain, anxiety, worry, depression, trauma and relationship issues? In today's culture with fewer connections to communities and cultures, it gives much less support to you and it's important to reach out. It’s time to explore and develop the richness and capacities within you for improved understanding, awareness and self-direction through body, mind, emotion & spirit practices and tools.

What is psychotherapy, and why would you want to receive it? For me, psychotherapy is communication. It is a means of reflecting you back to yourself in a way that is instructive, enlightening, and healing. If you are experiencing low self-esteem, depression, thoughts of suicide, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, or fearfulness about the future, you could benefit from psychotherapy.

Being our most resilient, healthy self is a process of acceptance and skill building. It is particularly hard when anger, sadness, and worry get in the way of connecting with others, advancing professionally, or maintaining health. It is important to have a safe place to process and solve life transitions without judgment. I utilize evidenced based psychotherapy and assessment to restore value based cognitions, mindfulness and healthy behaviors. Specialized treatment planning is the first stage of the process. Adults, adolescents, couples, and specialized assessment cases (ages 7 to 80+) are encouraged to schedule a consultation appointment.

My approach focuses on addressing immediate symptom relief and current life problems with an emphasis on identifying underlying emotional causes that may be contributing to these difficulties. My practice presumes that understanding psychological conflicts underlying unpleasant negative behaviors and/or emotions will help people gain important understanding into their current problems and, consequently, lead them to make considerable changes in their lives.

Life is full of challenges that can make it hard for us to move forward. Sometimes it takes feeling understood and supported to find perspective that allows us to navigate them with greater clarity and empowerment. I would be honored to help you with this process. Since the counseling relationship involves vulnerability and acceptance, it is important to find a “right fit” counselor. I will work to understand you and collaborate with you to help you reach your goals, and move into a space where you feel greater peace and hope.

Young adults seek therapy with me because they are feeling emotionally or physically drained or unmotivated or anxious, worried, and panicked. Many come to therapy for support with grief related to loss, change, or transition. I help those who feel stuck or like they are not living up to hopes or expectations. People also come for trauma resolution and stress management, looking to gain insight into their past to make changes for the future. I help those who feel disconnected from themselves and are looking to live a more symbolic and meaningful life through personal growth, creativity, and authenticity.
