Couples Counseling Therapists in Honolulu, HI

Our capacity to connect, both with ourselves (i.e. our passions, feelings, and body) and with others, is crucial to our feelings of well-being. When we connect, we generally feel a sense of aliveness in ourselves and the world. When we can't connect, we feel anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. I feel my job is to help clients to more fully connect to the range of their experiences. I help adults, adolescents, and couples explore why they lose connection. I help them identify, understand, and overcome the deep root of their disconnection. I help them find well-being, which gives me great joy.

Ready to split? Are you stuck in relationship ambivalence and just can't decide whether to stay or leave? Want to learn how to live and love with purpose? Before you breakup, divorce or go your separate way, try my unique program called Individual/Couples Counseling and Relationship Boot Camp. Most relationships or marriages need help and an immediate shot in the arm. It could be seen as your last shot to mending a broken connection or as relationship maintenance. Are you ready to experience a new sense of well-being, dignity and empowerment? If so, I can help you.

One of the most courageous things you can do is to begin to understand your own story. Life is too short to feel disconnected in your relationships. To be disempowered by past trauma, stuck, and questioning yourself. Alone struggling or feeling frustrated parenting your children. We all deserve support and care. To wake up refreshed, whole, knowing our worth, and feeling a deep connection to those we love. You deserve this, and therapy can help.

You may be feeling ambivalent about therapy, wondering if you're ready to share uncomfortable or painful experiences. As a licensed clinical psychologist, my goal is to work collaboratively to understand these experiences through your lens. This allows for the opportunity to assist in developing new experiences that are meaningful to you. I engage in therapy with adults, couples, and adolescents. Specialties include relational difficulties, panic and anxiety, grief and loss, women's health, infertility, pregnancy, life transitions, trauma, post-traumatic growth and identity concerns.

I approach therapy as education - helping clients to better identify patterns associated with difficulties, develop skills to overcome these difficulties, and learn how to utilize these skills in their daily lives in order to live as optimally as possible. We focus both on addressing the issues that have been plaguing you as well as learning to live more fully and comfortably in each moment and activity you are engaged in. Learning powerful skills helps overcome specific problems, boost resilience against future problems, and more fully enjoy daily life. Therapy is individually tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.

I work with individuals and couples to overcome the wounds we experience growing up and the challenges we experience in relationships when we are misunderstood. I take a collaborative approach; working with you to promote healing and understanding, both as an individual and within intimate relationships. Together we can find common ground to help you achieve the outcome you desire. I bring my whole self to my work; I believe in meeting my clients where they are at and providing support with real suggestions. I embrace a holistic approach, knowing that a healthy mind, body and spirit facilitates lasting change.

As a therapist, I prioritize the creation of a safe and nurturing space for my clients, where they feel heard, understood, and respected. I place great emphasis on the client-therapist relationship, recognizing it as a vital cornerstone of the therapeutic process. I believe that by fostering a trusting and supportive environment, clients can feel empowered to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly and authentically. My approach is rooted in the belief that by confronting the root causes of our challenges, we can create lasting change and cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and resilience.

I am currently able to accept clients in Hawaii, Florida, and Iowa.

For whatever reason, I am here to help you navigate the spaces that appear difficult, ambiguous, and daunting.

With two decades of working with court-ordered clients needing to address anger management and relationship violence, I help individuals and couples understand how their childhood and adolescent experiences effect their approach to marriage and families.

I love helping individuals identify and understand the pieces of their puzzles. I approach counseling to teach clients about Relationships 101, which I refer to as “common sense made obvious.” I help clients to re-write their “programs.”
