Aloha! I’m glad you’re here. I believe that every individual deserves a space that is wholly about them. A space where they are seen, heard, known, and validated. My approach to therapy is to assist individuals in their courageous efforts to improve themselves through unconditional positive regard and acceptance. Life presents difficult circumstances, and I am here to support you as you navigate them. I have a deep appreciation for diversity and uniqueness, a passion to learn, and you can often find me in nature, bookstores, coffee shops, and exploring novel places whether domestically or internationally.

Couples: Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Lived Experience: Cisgender white woman, multicultural upbringing, late-stage and end of life caregiving, supporting family members through addiction and mental health crises, becoming the parent of a young sibling, losing loved ones to suicide, recovery from eating disorder.
