Family Therapy in Honolulu, HI

Welina mai me ke aloha iā kākou (Hello and Welcome everyone)! It takes a lot of strength and bravery to seek support in navigating the challenges we encounter throughout different life stages. I provide supportive counseling to help you through these transitions, utilizing intentional, solution-focused therapy techniques to work with you toward creating a brighter future. I work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Hawai'i and California and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor in Hawai'i.

I believe each of us can live a fulfilling life by understanding the relationship between what we think, feel, and do in order to help us identify helpful and unhelpful ways of being. By letting go of what hinders us from reaching our goals, we can make intentional decisions and commit to attitudes that align with our values and goals. When we are faced with life hardships and feel stuck; intentional living reminds us that we have power over how we respond to situations out of our control. It’s about self-awareness and clarity about who we are and aspire to achieve.
