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. 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, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, as well as using EMDR and trauma-focused CPT for PTSD and other trauma-related symptoms.

I enjoy the challenges of working with different populations and helping them through their life challenges,. I passionately 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.

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. For me, the words Hawaiian words: Ola Lokahi (Thrive in Harmony) describe the basis for my core beliefs - that is, maintaining balance and harmony in all aspects in our life.
