Due to my schedule, it is best to click on the Email Me link to setup our initial contact. Sometimes life delivers challenging moments for us or we feel stuck in a negative cycle. We struggle through issues, whether brought on by our own choices or by the choices of others. I strive to provide an emotionally safe environment where you can explore those issues and challenges. Collaboratively we discover your core needs and ways to unblock whatever might be keeping you from your potential. Change can be difficult and challenging. I will work with you in an empathetic, compassionate, and supportive way to navigate this process.

Life takes us for turns we don't expect and sometimes we’re able to get through them, but in other times, we can become stuck. We may feel overwhelmed at work, in our marriage, or in other relationships. Perhaps, there are difficulties with a teenager at home or maybe there are feelings of sadness or anxiousness. When life brings us to this point, reaching out for help is a courageous first step toward change. Entering therapy can provide clarity to the confusion and is a safe place to explore alternative avenues toward an improved quality of life.

Under any weather conditions, where rough seas and rugged shores collide, there stands a lighthouse signaling: “This way home; this way to safety.” (Monson) Under any life conditions, when our body, heart, mind, or spirit may collide with harsh reality, there comes a guiding signal from our inner lighthouse. Without such guidance, we may find ourselves lost, alone, hurt, discouraged, and ultimately dis-empowered in any aspect of our lives. Compassionate, collaborative therapy allows us to recognize and rely on our inner guidance as one of the key turning points towards self-empowerment, support, healing, success, and happiness.

Aloha, Are you or your loved ones struggling with anxiety, depression, or chronic pain?

Balancing life with its daily challenges and responsibilities can be overwhelming. Anxiety may cause difficulty with concentration or decision-making, strain in relationships, procrastination, or cause intense emotional discomfort. I understand our anxiety can be isolating and govern our thoughts making it difficult to thrive in life. It shapes how we interact with the world which may affect our ability to be productive, build lasting relationships, and cope through difficult times. Together, we can establish practical tools to manage your symptoms effectively and find the root cause of your anxiety, so you can reclaim your life.

Dr. Ralston regularly treats all of these symptoms.

Currently waitlisting potential new clients until October 10, 2024. Life has its difficult moments. I specialize in helping people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use or are going through some sort of life change. Whether it be life changes like moving or a death of a loved one, switching jobs or recurring relationship issues, change can be tough (even if it a positive one). Do you need someone to talk to in a safe space without feeling judged? I help clients gain new insights into themselves.

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 believe each individual has the capability to overcome these obstacles given a nurturing and supportive environment. When working with clients, I attempt to provide this environment in order for my clients to enact meaningful change in their lives.
