Lesbian Therapists in Honolulu, HI
I also have many years of experience working with the Gay and Lesbian community.
DECIDING TO BEGIN PSYCHOTHERAPY IS A COURAGEOUS ACT. I enjoy working with clients who, via symptoms such as depression, anxiety, sexual-orientation or career issues, eating disorders, life transitions, or relationship issues are seeking a deeper understanding of their lives and which direction they wish to take. Often the symptom is the "call" from psyche, a portal into a deeper exploration into one's life which may yield increased self-awareness and introductions to formerly unknown aspects of one's own being. I feel privileged to be called upon to accompany individuals on this journey. At this time,

Sometimes life does not turn out the way we had hoped it would, and sometimes it does and we find ourselves confused about how we feel about it all. One day we start to question our lifelong belief that we are “the good Christian heterosexual" and feel the intense desire to live as our authentic selves. Or we question what we're doing with our lives. Life oscillates between heartbreaking times and beautiful moments and everything in between. Part of being a human being is overcoming challenges and allowing life’s beauty into our lives by welcoming meaningful connection and support from other trusted individuals.

Mental health shouldn’t be a privilege. So much of how we feel in our minds and bodies has to do with the identities we inhabit in the world and how our environments do or do not support us. Counseling is a tool that can be helpful when dealing with the natural anxiety, depression, and grief that can arise as a result of living in a culture that refuses to see you or value you. I work with folks through an anti-oppression and somatic (body-based) lens. As a Non-Binary and Queer therapist, I am passionate about the decolonization of the therapy space. The personal is political.

My approach to therapy with adults is based upon the belief that everyone has the power to heal oneself. My role is to serve as a guide, a facilitator or a conduit depending on the needs of my clients. The longer I practice, the more I realize that the key to "treat" human conditions is through light, love and compassion. I have a lot of success working with people who suffer from trauma (e.g., sexual abuse), anxiety, severe depression and life changing events (e.g., severe illness, loss of a love one). Therapy process includes inner child work, shadow work and energy healing.

I value the diversity in all human beings. For each client, I try to open my mind and heart to understanding your experiences as fully as possible - your strengths, difficulties, your desire for change. It's important to know the context of your life - how individual, familial, and societal influences impact your situation. I work toward helping clients make and find meaning in their choices, to build strength even in the face of adversity. I have a lot of compassion for people, and can accompany you with kindness through the sometimes painful journey of working through tough issues.
