Therapy benefits people in times of acute struggle as well as with the stressors of daily life. It supports those looking to set and reach goals, enhance their current situation, and create positive transformation in their lives. Therapy can help identify what the life we want looks like, ways we can grow, and how we can remove or manage roadblocks that may stand in the way of reaching our full potential. As a therapist I strive to create safe space where we are able to explore the difficulties as well as the joys of life and build on the potential that each of us holds.

My particular interest and expertise is in challenges faced by couples: cultural differences, issues of step-families, aftermath of infidelity, fertility issues, serious illness or loss in the family, low-sex and no-sex couples, raising adolescents - and empty nest issues... Another area of work is dealing with the dissolution of the relationship - how to say good-bye with dignity, and how to mend a broken heart and renew your spirit, and your joy of life. And of course, if there are children involved, our focus would be on protecting them from the aftermath of the divorce as much as possible.

I think therapy is a process, a journey. It's important to have a comfortable traveling companion, one who listens carefully without judgment and with whom you feel safe and nurtured as you explore those issues that are keeping you from being your whole, authentic, and joyful self. I work with individuals, couples and families who are seeking growth and connection in both their inner lives and in relationships. I have extensive experience treating sexual abuse, loss, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, sexual assault, body image, grief, bullying, trauma, or domestic abuse, you might need a safe space to share, to cry, to laugh, to heal, and to learn healthy strategies for coping with life’s challenges. I use a variety of cognitive-behavioral techniques, as well as humility, non-judgment, compassion, humor, and neuro-education as therapeutic tools for helping teens and adults to build a greater sense of self-awareness, trust, acceptance, confidence, and well-being in living their best life.

Being born and raised in Hawaii and going through the public school system made me aware of the challenges we all face at various stages in our lives. Whether it is anxiety from life transitions, low self-esteem that became depression, or behavioral issues that lead to diagnoses, I'd like to help you improve your quality of life and find your true self. We will look at where the current view of yourself and others came from and how this has impacted your ability to emotionally regulate in stressful situations. Together, we will figure out the goals that you want to achieve and a guide on how to get there.
