Therapists in Kahului, HI

People come to me for many reasons. For some, they are overall doing well in their life, but feel that there's something going on inside that's keeping them from reaching their full potential and finding true happiness and fulfillment. Others are actively experiencing challenges in their life and are open to receiving support, while still others are in real pain, and are looking for relief and help with that.

Are you experiencing a "dark night of the soul" and feeling hopeless? Do you need to change a relationship, behavior or thought pattern? Pause. Change can happen in a single moment of insight. You have taken the first step toward self-empowerment and transformation. When we deepen our awareness within a positive, supportive and safe environment, we can find tools to navigate life’s obstacles. Let's have a conversation! Sessions focus are a collaboration toward growth and transformation. I provide holistic and integrative counseling for the body, mind and spirit, with 35 years of experience in the healing arts professions.

Just winging it, every single day. Welcome to life with ADHD. One minute you're proud of yourself for being a creative genius. The next you're stuck in cleanup mode dealing with mess after mess. On top of everything else you have on your plate. Mind racing a million miles a minute; dodging deadlines all week long; one more day of procrastinating. Classic move, leaving it all till the last second. Weekend rolls in, time to kick back and relax. Not in your world. Too busy catching up on what others wrapped up during the week. Tired of people-pleasing and feeling awful about yourself. Waiting for the day when things will be different.

Healing is an inside job--that happens in a safe interpersonal context. Instead of just talking about problems, we can greet them as empowering, transformative opportunities for healing and growth. With power therapies fueling rapid breakthroughs, change can even be fun! In addition to dealing with emotions in a compassionate way, by attending to the mind/body connection via the energetic/nervous system, we can reconnect with innate ability to self-heal and function optimally. Put more simply, get free from obstacles & pain and begin to enjoy achieving your goals while reclaiming vibrant expression of your unique personal potential!

I commend you for taking the first step in self-discovery and healing! I invite you to share your feelings and emerge with a "Lighter Heart." I want to hear YOUR story. Does the world often overwhelm you? Do you seem to "feel" things deeply or become easily emotional? Then you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). HSPs are more prone to over-stimulation, depression, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties. As a Highly Sensitive therapist, I can help you to recognize the benefits and hardships of this trait, be more productive, have better relationships, and protect yourself from overwhelm.

Have you tried everything but sadness, loneliness or your relationship stays the same? You don’t have to suffer any longer. I understand the courage it takes to ask for help. Together, we'll transform pain and isolation into meaningful insight, self-love, connection and powerful, emotional strength. I’m a couples’ therapy expert and adult wellness specialist. I help heal relationships with parenting difficulties, affairs, religious or financial differences, intimacy issues and family conflict. I also specialize in helping adults navigating life transitions, and experiencing anxiety or depression.
