Our Team

Aloha! Life is full of change and transition, and that means life is also full of times when we need extra support to manage the anxiety, depression, and/or distress that often comes along with it. If this sounds like you, you're in the right place. As a Hawaii transplant, I often incorporate Hawaiian values in my work as I believe it provides a new living perspective to values that can help us reach our full sense of self.

I love working with...

PTSD, trauma, adjustment issues, and marriage counseling.

Some of my favorite approaches include...

ACT, collaborative goal setting, strength-based, and mindfulness focused.

How I help...

My therapeutic approach is interactive, collaborative, and non-judgmental.

I believe...

I believe in helping individuals and families find their full potential and maintain self-determination, no matter what the overwhelming struggles are whether it be trauma, addiction, relationship obstacles, or just feeling "stuck."

What it's like in session with me...

I like to think of myself as a treatment partner, not someone who sits silently while you figure out your own path forward. That means I take a holistic, collaborative approach to treatment, with a nod to evidence-based practices, such as CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, as well as using EMDR and trauma-focused CPT for PTSD and other trauma-related symptoms.
