I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, stress, burnout, communication, and parenting. When we meet, we will discuss together what goals we want to work towards in counseling. I like to build upon individual strengths as we tackle your life challenges. I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as they hold the belief that all forms of human suffering is a normal part of life. I also take a holistic view in your overall health.

Sometimes we get tired of trying to figure everything out on our own. It can be overwhelming when everyone thinks they know what is best for us. Do you ever wish someone would just listen? It can be so helpful to talk to someone who really listens - without judging us or telling us what to do. The best relationships are ones in which each person is an equal partner. By working together in a kind and supportive manner, constructive strategies can be identified.

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.

Talking about sex, relationships, and intimacy can be incredibly difficult. Throughout our lives many of us have been confronted with fear and shame-based messages, inaccurate and harmful information, and often problematic ideas regarding sexuality. These experiences can leave us feeling confused or ashamed, ultimately impacting our ability to tap into our full and authentic selves. Exploring these issues in a therapeutic setting with a trained, sex-positive therapist can be life-changing. A sex-positive framework means that I affirm all consensual sexual activity (or lack of sexual activity) as positive, healthy, and pleasurable.
