Do you feel like you're just going through the motions- exhausted, anxious, or weighed down by things you can’t quite name? Maybe you’ve tried to push through, but nothing seems to help. Are you overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or the weight of past experiences-military or otherwise-that won’t seem to let go? You want to feel like yourself again-but aren’t sure where to start. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Now more than ever, people are feeling disconnected, emotionally exhausted, and unsure of how to move forward. Healing begins with being truly seen and supported.

The road to healing and wholeness is a personal and sacred journey. My philosophy, as both a clinical psychologist and life coach, is that the human spirit can be empowered to overcome traumatic experiences and memories that keep one from enjoying a more fulfilling life. I am affiliated with Pali Momi Medical Center and work with physicians to provide an integrated approach to health and wellness.

Would you like to take an integrative approach to therapy? Intervention strategies with my clients involve closely examining emotional and cultural issues associated with psychological and physical health. I was born and raised on Oahu, and am aware of the unique pressures local residents face as they try to maintain a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle. I enjoy helping clients find effective coping strategies that could improve their health, wellness, spirituality, personal relationships, and overall daily functioning. I also welcome spiritual-theological dialoguing to foster opportunities for exploration, reconciliation, and healing.

Frustrated that life is NOT what you planned? Maybe you're scared of this change and what it means for your future. Perhaps you're keeping a secret that is keeping you from your partner? Or you have a burning need to understand why you do what you do? If this sounds familiar, I promise, you're not alone. You're not broken or bad... You are a human facing a big change (or the need for one). The truth is, everyone deserves a person that they can talk to about A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G. including you!

Welcome. You may be a good fit if you feel stuck in repeating patterns—whether in relationships, mood, or life direction—and want to understand why and change it. Many people I work with struggle with depression, anxiety, or burnout and sense there’s more beneath the surface.

Therapy can be difficult, it requires exposure of thoughts and feelings that you spent a lot of time hiding. It takes courage and self-awareness to start therapy. Anyone reaching out to start that process deserves somebody ready to listen. The best therapy is when a person is ready to make changes in their life. A lot of external change can happen when you make internal changes – by addressing deeply held beliefs and challenging assumptions often accepted as true. I particularly want to be a supportive presence to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community. I work hard to make sure my clients feel safe and empowered in expressing themselves.

I think of therapy as a venue where it's an honor to explore experiences with diverse people. I know that issues are challenging to live with, and I strive to allow people a safe, nurturing, supportive environment in which to explore challenges, meaning, and existence with empathy and compassion. I value seeing and exploring with people in creating their true identities, assisting people in finding their "voice" and to stand in truth. I'm always mindful that a person is not in isolation, but is part of a community with diverse perspectives, morals, and values.

Our capacity to connect, both with ourselves (i.e. our passions, feelings, and body) and with others, is crucial to our feelings of well-being. When we connect, we generally feel a sense of aliveness in ourselves and the world. When we can't connect, we feel anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. I feel my job is to help clients to more fully connect to the range of their experiences. I help adults, adolescents, and couples explore why they lose connection. I help them identify, understand, and overcome the deep root of their disconnection. I help them find well-being, which gives me great joy.

Life happens, and no matter how hard we try to stop it or slow it down, it just keeps on going. We are exhausted and lost, especially in a world of uncertainty. And over time, we forget how to come up for air and instead, get stuck in the past, emotional turmoil, and these seemingly never-ending cycles. But we don't have to live in that dark space forever and we can learn to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel - and I can help you with that.
