Aloha, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing for over 18 years. My approach to therapy is to build trusting relationships that allow for honesty and authenticity. I assist those I work with to recognize their natural potential, and innate gifts to move past unhealthy patterns and heal old wounds. In the work, we focus on acquiring tools to live in our ever changing world, developing new narratives and cultivating increased awareness. I specialize in trauma related conditions both current and in childhood, as well as depression, anxiety, self-harm, parenting, couples and family conflict.

In therapy I draw upon my training, research and experience in EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Ego Psychology using IFS principals, Attachment theory, Family Systems and EFT for couples to promote sustainable change. I integrate somatic tools drawing from Hakomi basics, NARM, Somatics experiencing, & Polyvagal theory.
I appreciate you for your commitment to yourself, to your personal growth. Feeling comfortable and safe with your therapist is important and necessary for the change process to unfold. I encourage you to reach out and contact me to see if working together in therapy feels like a good fit.
