Aloha! Seeking help for struggles can be difficult. Just know that you have made the most important step in creating your life the way you want it. Life can present many challenges; with the right support these can be incredible opportunities to grow. Starting therapy is the beginning of a journey to find a more connected and fulfilling relationship to ourselves, others and the world we live in. Each of us, deep down, hold our own answers to the issues we face. Sometimes we need an objective listener to ask new questions, suggest new skills, be supportive and coach us through tough times.

I believe most people want the same things deep down. We want to feel safe, loved, understood, and fulfilled. Unfortunately, many of us have gone without these most basic needs. While we have found ways to survive, we are left with painful scars and wanting more. I believe 'more' is your right. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, mindful space dedicated to you. I believe we all know what is best for ourselves; my goal is not to tell you what that is but rather to empower and support you along the way.

Suffering is an inevitable part of the human experience. Grief, loss, anxiety, worry, depression, relationship and career challenges are some of the most common ways suffering appears in our life. When we transform suffering, we find the beauty of what it has to teach us. As the poet Rumi said, “the cure is in the pain”. Quite often, it is our pain or difficulties that reveals to us the wisdom we need to live our best life. I would like to assist you on this journey of self discovery, to move thru the discomfort, cultivate compassionate insight, find solutions, and to set a course to meet your goals and live your dreams.

Therapy creates a space for individuals, couples and families to learn new strategies to address the challenges of life. My approach is to work with you on your desired outcomes with no judgment or steering in a particular direction. All feelings serve a purpose. Every person has the ability to feel fulfilled, create close relationships and be successful. Learn tools to take back control of your feelings and maintain emotional stability. I am a firm believer that although we can't change our circumstances or the past, we can change how we react in the present.

I believe that the most important relationship is with your Self, which comprises many parts of you, and how you align these parts with some kind of Higher Power, which I call Good Orderly Direction. When you are Pono with your Self, then can we begin to do healing work on our relationships with others. For relationships will mirror parts of us that may hit raw spots caused by past hurts. We don't need to suffer. Happiness, joy, serenity, and peace are within each and everyone of us. It is our choice, our birthright. Let me help guide you back there. You will remember....

Currently accepting new clients! My approach is a down-to-earth combination of the practical and the spiritual. If anxiety, depression, trauma, body image/food issues, or low self-worth are preventing you from having the kind of life you yearn for, I can be of service. Our early life experiences lead us to form "programs": beliefs about ourself and others that are often not true in the present, that can hold us back from living our full potential. My role is as a guide, holding safe space for you to navigate the questions and de-program the past as you learn to trust your inner wisdom.

Online Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
