Our understanding of health, and what it means to be "healthy," has changed over the years. We now have a better understanding of what a healthy lifestyle looks and feels like. Being "healthy" might look like less pain, better and more sleep, maintaining a healthy weight, less stress, and more social connections. The problem is, we struggle to make changes to improve our health. Even when we are motivated to make changes, we can become discouraged at the first sign of "failure." By looking closely at thoughts, behaviors, and emotions we can work together to set simple and realistic goals that will help you achieve a healthier life!

Aloha and welcome! I have many years of experience working with individuals and couples who may be challenged with addiction problems within the family system and perhaps with unresolved trauma as well as intra and/or inter personal relationships. I believe that learning healthy communication may start the change process as we begin to hear as we actively listen to not only others, but to our honest selves .

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
