Aloha! I am a bilingual (Tagalog & English) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Honolulu with over 8 years of experience. My experience involves working with individuals with mild to severe and persistent mental illness (Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia,PTSD, and Substance Abuse). I have also worked with individuals with a wide range of issues including anxiety, stress related to work , and relationship issues.

People use therapy to help change themselves or deal with life challenges. Oftentimes, therapy may involve revealing significant parts of ourselves, our relationships, or life circumstances. Therapy can help reduce or alleviate problems to help us live more fulfilling lives. Therapy is a partnership between you and me. Together, we identify the goals of your treatment, we work on skills, and we resolve to improve ourselves and our life conditions. I believe there are various ways to approach issues. My experience and belief is that many of our life’s challenges and pains stem from the way we think about ourselves and the world.

Dr. Takasawa’s is a skilled therapist and committed Christian who brings her professional interest and unique perspectives to issues involving relationships, life transitions, stress and anxiety, depression, and spiritual struggles. She believes that therapy includes the process of coming to know oneself better with a clearer, more confident sense of identity and increased capacity to love self, others, and God. In this way, we tend to come into a greater sense of peace and empowerment. While Dr. Takasawa’s approach to psychotherapy is informed by her faith, she maintains an accepting and non-judgmental stance and is open to work

I enjoy helping people explore ways that they can live happier, more fulfilling and meaningful lives. As a Marriage and Family Therapist I can help you better understand and shape your familyʻs dynamics in order to make them more functional and healthy.

Aloha and Welcome! I have 25+ years of experience helping clients with relationship issues, work related issues or simply coping with mood swings, anxiety, social anxiety, depression, trauma (past or current), changes in the family system. Therapy sessions often help to find new ways in which to view problems, different outcomes, new and improved communication skills for improved relationships, as well as ways to understand and manage stress, anxiety or depression. If you need a space to talk about a past, or current trauma, relationship, or other ongoing situations, please feel free to contact me.

You crave intimacy, yet you are constantly feeling hurt and frustrated in relationships; You seek purpose in life, yet you feel empty and numb inside most of the time; You are trying to get rid of the past, yet the trauma legacy is haunting you to the present. You understand the benefits of psychotherapy, yet you want to make sure there is enough safety and stability in the therapy space before you start. If it sounds like you, I believe I can help.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ― Anais Nin. Choosing to start therapy is so powerful as it means that you are looking to create a shift within yourself and what you've been doing is no longer serving you. Have you noticed yourself feeling stuck and overwhelmed within the negative cycle of your circumstances & deeply established emotional patterns? Do you identify as a people pleaser, shrinking yourself & prioritizing others' needs over your own? I will work collaboratively with you to break intergenerational trauma patterns at its source & move forward anew.

My clients are looking to find authentic self expression and freedom to be their creative selves. My clients mostly struggle with mood, trauma, and eating disorders, and are looking to recover their authentic self and creativity. My clients are interested in identity and self-discovery and our aim in therapy is to help them find relief from trauma and unhelpful behaviors through a compassionate lens. My clients are often looking to cultivate confidence in themselves and a deeper trust in their body and intuition, and to feel more free in their lives, follow their purpose, and cultivate meaningful relationships.

Aloha and welcome! I have many years of experience working with individuals and couples who may be challenged with addiction problems within the family system and perhaps with unresolved trauma as well as intra and/or inter personal relationships. I believe that learning healthy communication may start the change process as we begin to hear as we actively listen to not only others, but to our honest selves .

Aloha- thank you for your interest and for taking this first step towards finding a therapist that fits your needs! I hold a license as a Clinical Psychologist in the state of Hawaii. It is always my primary goal to offer you or your loved one a safe space without judgment to process your experience. I have worked as both a licensed Behavior Analyst and a licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Hawaii before completing my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Hawaii School of Professional Psychology at Chaminade University.

Are you overwhelmed, constantly comparing yourself and feeling like you don’t measure up? Anxiety and depression symptoms are common today, especially in women. I work with women individually and with their children ages 0-5, if needed. As an Infant Mental Health Clinician our work together we will reflect on your earliest experiences and relationships to find thought, feeling and behavior patterns that could be impacting you in your relationships today. If you and your child have experienced loss, separation or other big experiences together, I can work with both of you to reestablish safety and secure attachment.

I approach therapy collaboratively, striving to be unbiased and nonjudgmental yet supportive and trusting. I believe therapy should be a safe space to explore one's fears while practicing real-life communication skills in order to improve our relationships and our ability to cope with life's challenges. I encourage my clients to find their authentic voice and personal values amongst influences from family, peers and society about how relationships, intimacy and success "should" be defined. My style of therapy is engaging and solution-focused using validation, empathy and humor. If this sounds like a good fit for you, let's talk!
