I look for solutions. Sometimes the solution is a listening ear and processing difficult emotions or experiences. I also look for very practical solutions for couples such as communication techniques, division of household/work/and parenting tasks, and the big issues in relationships...money, sex, and in-laws or ex's. With individuals suffering with depression or anxiety I take a holistic approach; mind, body and spirit. Without simple changes in our bodies such as relaxation, exercise, and sleep our mind cannot connect. When we take care of the whole person there is a synergistic effect and the results are much greater.

My journey has taken me down many roads. I have a few years of experience helping individuals, couples and families in Hawaii in the areas of mental health and addictions. In my years as a clinician I've worked with both adults and children struggling with a diversity of issues, some of which include substance abuse, relationship issues, parenting issues, depression, and anxiety. I have learned how to adjust my approach to best suit the needs of my clients, regardless of age or background.

Do you feel stuck? Maybe you feel like you’ll never get out of the same old routine no matter what you do. Or you think, “Even if I talk to someone about what’s going on, my clothes won’t get folded,” or, “My kid just won’t get off their phone. We’ve tried everything!” And, to be fair, you probably have tried everything. At least, everything that works for “everyone else”. I’m Abby. I specialize in working with people who think a little differently. Whether you’re a teen (or a parent of one), neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, OCD, etc.), or experiencing burnout, you may have thought, “How do I get back to normal?”

Is your child acting out and you aren't sure how to help? Is your teen becoming distant and moody, leaving you feeling it is nearly impossible to see eye to eye? Do you desperately want to put an end to harmful family patterns, sparing your children from hardships you have faced? Your child is your whole world, and when they aren’t happy, neither are you. It’s normal to want to fix everything for them, and also to have no idea how to. You may feel as if you have tried everything without success, feeling as if there is little hope that life will get better. You desperately need something to work so you can see your child happy again.

I believe that God's given us the ability and infinite capacity to overcome almost anything that we face in our lives. Unfortunately, sometimes we get stuck. We get stuck by the things that we're taught or the situations that we've experienced or maybe even trauma. We also get stuck when we find ourselves in unhealthy environments like being isolated or trying to take on every situation alone. Finding ourselves stuck definitely feels helpless, but often it can feel hopeless as well.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
