As an experienced perinatal mental health and relationship therapist, I believe healing and connection are possible in life’s toughest challenges.
As a parent and member of the LGBTQ+ community, you face unique challenges and societal pressures that can strain your relationships.

You’re ready to rekindle the connection and joy in your relationships. Most of all, you’re ready to transform your relationship into a source of strength and support.

I provide counseling to individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds.
The power to heal is already inside you. Yet, since most of our wounding has happened in relationship, our healing happens here, too. Together, through a safe therapeutic relationship, a return to your inborn wholeness can happen. All aspects of you are welcome when working with me. Our work will originate in the here and now, learning to meet what shows up with care and compassion and to make the changes that lead to a greater sense of wellbeing. I love counseling those in transition— be that career, gender, or otherwise. I draw from feminist, existential, Buddhist, and somatic frameworks and work from a trauma-informed lens.

My practice focuses on empowering adult individuals and couples, with special focus on: sex, sexuality, intimacy, infidelity, poly/open relationships, trauma, grief, career development, communication issues, and life adjustments.
My overall approach is collaborative and client-centered, with a commitment to anti-oppression in every facet of my work. I believe, with warm, respectful, authentic support, every person has the ability to identify inner resources and acquire skills that will empower them to find healing and fulfilling relationships to self and others. My style is compassionate and appropriately direct. While I find exploration of the past useful, I prefer to use the 'here-and-now' to realize and effect change.

I am experienced in working with survivors of sexual trauma and intimate partner violence.
Therapy is a space where you can explore the full range of your experience and have compassionate witness for whatever arises. Together we can tend to all the relationships of life, including relationship to yourself and the non-human world. We can explore deep longings, desires, and fears. We can bring care and understanding to old patterns to access choice, connection, pleasure, and new ways of being. I am comfortable exploring sexual health topics with clients, including how to have more fulfilling intimate and sensual experiences and increase awareness and acceptance of one's desire and sexuality.

I love talking about the process of therapy itself to make our relationship stronger and to enhance and deepen our work together.
Are you finding yourself feeling overwhelmed by emotion or seeking out ways to numb yourself? Relationships might make you feel alone or isolated and seeking connections that bring comfort and happiness. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, your inner strengths, resiliency, and capacity for deep joy and meaning. It can feel liberating to work through difficult issues and feel more alive in the here and now. Even in times of great stress and uncertainty, therapy can help build on your unique strengths and resources, to feel more empowered and connected to others and community.

I enjoy collaborating with individuals and couples, especially those who identify as Black, Indigenous, POC or apart of the LGBTQ+ community, to access their innate healing power, reclaim ancestral knowledge, and achieve their vision of wellness. I practice with the beliefs that everyone is the expert of their own story, and have the power to heal themselves under the right circumstances. I provide support to those ready to process and work through past trauma, sexuality, relationship challenges, life transitions, spirituality, identity struggles, multicultural experiences, and building connection and intimacy.

Lokahi Counseling helps individuals, couples and families discover how they see themselves functioning in the world, explore their inner pain, and learn how to move toward positive, life changes.
My counseling practice is structured toward treating each person as individuals. When I treat people who struggle with eating and body image issues and related challenges with anxiety, depression and relationships, every person is treated with their own, individual needs in mind. Treatment modalities range from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mind-Body Therapy (MBCT), Energetic work using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Hypnotherapy and Subtle Energy work. Additionally, I provide individual, couples and family therapy for work-related support (including Career and Rehabilitation counseling) and troubled relationships.

I work with individuals and couples navigating life changes. Transitions can bring up a lot of feelings, fears, memories of past experiences, or traumas - and through that struggle they can offer the opportunity for hope, excitement, joy, and new experiences. Together, we will tap into your strength and creativity so you're able to experience a sense of abundance in your options for change and make movement toward the life you want to be living.

I offer holistic individual, family, couples/ relationship, and group therapy.
Healing and caring for ourselves is hard work. Sometimes painful, often fulfilling, occasionally tedious, it is a necessary part of being open to the experiences that life has to offer us. Therapy is one way to find support in healing from trauma, managing our health, and discovering and practicing new ways of caring for ourselves. As Audre Lorde wrote, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." This work is important, both individually and collectively, and I am here to help you with it.

I provide individual sessions, family sessions, couples sessions, sex therapy, group therapy, Christian therapy, and sports therapy.
My approach to therapy is very client focused. I am a systemic therapist and will try and look at the whole picture of your life to help figure out how to help. Working with couples to save, restore, or provide maintenance is my passion. There’s nothing in the world quite like trauma and the way it impacts us as individuals on many different levels. I can help you deal with and navigate these painful memories and intrusive thoughts to live a healthier life. If you are a parent struggling with a child or family problems, I believe I can connect with and help teach both parent and child to help you be a more successful family unit.

I specialized in couples work, trauma, grief and loss, and men’s issues.
Our life is a journey. The journey can present us with challenges we are unsure of how to handle. If you have ever been caught in a rainstorm you’ll know you just want to have a safe place to wait it out. Or you could want a safe way to get through the storm faster. Sometimes we just wish we had someone there to be in the storm with us so we knew we weren’t alone. You are not alone. We can experience that storm together. Therapy, just like life is a collaborative process. Together we can address the challenges you face.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
