I provide services throughout the state of Hawai’i, all islands are welcomed! I know finding a therapist can be a daunting task. I hope this profile will help you take the first step in prioritizing your emotional wellbeing to live a more meaningful life. The most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between you and I. My approach to therapy is focused on the unique needs of the individual and/or the family from a person-centered/ humanistic lens. My therapeutic foundation is centered on my cultural background, and built upon the platform of Lōkahi.

As a therapist, my aim is to foster a secure, supportive, and non-judgmental space where individuals and families can delve into the challenges that are faced. Together we will strive to remove barriers, earn trust, and make you feel welcome. We will work together to examine the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors while identifying ways to improve coping skills, restore confidence, and make positive changes. With experience spanning community mental health centers, schools, homes, and remote settings, I employ a person-centered, psychodynamic therapeutic approach.

THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST, AT THIS TIME I'M NOT TAKING SELF-REFERRALS. I believe therapy is about authentic relationship. A genuine connection. A "corrective" relationship, balancing empathy, attunement, and validation of experience with compassionate confrontation. I come from a place of wanting the best for you and wanting to help you reach your potential. Engaging in therapy can mean stretching, digging, looking at hard things. It's not always easy to jump in. But therapy itself can be a "corrective experience" where someone is coming alongside you as a witness to your pain, your story, someone who really wants to understand you.

The healing process is one that is infinite and the beauty of that rests in the fact that there are an abundance of healing methods and forms of healing. Sourcing the appropriate path is contingent upon our present state and what we need in that particular life moment. I believe that a holistic approach to psychological, emotional, and behavioral issues is the most effective way to reaching the source of our distress. Throughout treatment an individual or family is provided with various coping tools and skills to manage symptoms.

Born and raised in the islands, I am blessed to be a part of our unique island culture and our Spirit of Aloha. Although I have travelled, Hawaii is my home. Yet even in paradise, we experience life's many challenges and everyday stressors. Navigating adulthood is a process of trial and error. I've been fortunate enough to have trustworthy friends and mentors to help guide me along the path that they have already travelled, and would like to offer the same assistance to others. Becoming a parent myself, I now see the cycle of life and growth that much more clearly.

I am a licensed psychologist who has been in private practice for 38 years. You may be reluctant to consult a psychologist even though you feel overwhelmed and stressed. You might think that it is a weakness to talk to a professional about your situations or problems. Being willing to open up and share your concerns is an important step in finding solutions and is a sign of strength. You might benefit from realizing you are not alone and can be understood. Dr. Silke will be respectful of your spiritual/religious beliefs and will incorporate them into therapy as desired.
