Being born and raised in Hawaii and going through the public school system made me aware of the challenges we all face at various stages in our lives. Whether it is anxiety from life transitions, low self-esteem that became depression, or behavioral issues that lead to diagnoses, I'd like to help you improve your quality of life and find your true self. We will look at where the current view of yourself and others came from and how this has impacted your ability to emotionally regulate in stressful situations. Together, we will figure out the goals that you want to achieve and a guide on how to get there.

Making the decision to start therapy and finding the right therapist can be overwhelming and intimidating. Taking this first step takes courage. You may feel stuck in a relationship, at work, or in the past. You may feel disconnected and find it difficult to express your feelings. This can lead to loneliness, resentment, shame, substance use and anger. Everyone struggles at times and everyone deserves to be heard and understood. My focus is to assist you in identifying your goals and examining what is getting in the way of reaching these goals. This is best achieved when you have a therapist you trust and feel comfortable with.

Each and every one of us deserve a healthy and balanced life. Let me be the one to help you get there. My experience has allowed me to see, first hand, the ability for change when empowerment and self-actualization are realized. With a background in mediation and conflict resolution, I am equipped to facilitate an array of issues in order to unlock the best you!

Welcome! Are you experiencing stress due to a life transition? Have difficulty in managing your emotions? Suspect that you carry unresolved trauma, grief and loss? Maybe you feel stuck in a long-standing issue, or feel anxious, depressed and burned out. I work with a range of life issues and communities, with a special passion to serve healthcare professionals and first-responders. I believe we are all built for wellness and I am deeply committed to helping you connect with your inner wisdom and make mindful changes that align with your values. I strive to invite curiosity, self-compassion, and humor throughout your healing journey.

If you could find peace of mind, would you? Stress affects everyone and is a normal reaction to challenges at work, school, home, or even traumatic events.   Imagine a future of calm. Come join Calm and Collective HI - set goals, prioritize, stay connected, and discuss new approaches to manage stress - because no one is perfect, and we’ll show you how to remain calm.

I believe therapy is a gift you give yourself. Until we have the skills to identify our needs, learn to communicate those needs effectively, and give permission to nurture ourselves, we are not fully liberated to love and take care of one another. You can give yourself the gift of therapy. Allow yourself to sit, pause, feel, think, process, and simply be. I believe you have all the resources within you to navigate whatever terrain you have found yourself in life, and it would be my honor to accompany you in your journey to self-discovery.

Hi! I'm Miriam. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of Hawaii, as well as a Certified Anger Management Specialist II, through the National Anger Management Association, a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor and a supervisor for MSW's wanting to obtain licensure. I have been practicing social work for fifteen years. I work with adults on developing skills to reduce stress, depression and anger, while focusing on relationships and life transitions.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety or trauma? Have you been hesitant to start therapy but don’t know where to start? I am here to support you by processing in a supportive environment at your pace.

Life has its difficult moments. Do you ever feel like you are suffering from anxiety, depression, addiction, or substance abuse and would like to find a lasting solution? Do you need someone to talk to in a safe space? Whether it be life changes like moving or a death of a loved one, switching jobs or recurring relationship issues, change can be tough (even if it a positive one).

Life has challenges and therapy can help to progress with wisdom, strength, and healing to a healthy, effective, and enjoyable life. I will work with you to build marriages, family relationships, and personal growth. If your Christian faith is important to you, I enjoy including the principles of Christianity in therapy.

Therapy can be complex, courageous and a difficult decision, but sometimes we just know when it's time to try something different. While challenging periods in life and relationships can overwhelm, they can also facilitate desired change and deeper connection with self and others. Different kinds of traumatic experiences can cause a disconnect between what our head knows and what our body is telling us We will learn together how to reconnect your mind and body so we can access the inner wisdom and strengths that you already possess. We will grow into integrating these capacities in ways that work for you in your current life.

I see individuals, couples, and families in treatment. I am a teacher and supervisor of those studying to become marriage and family therapists. I teach Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Hawaii.

"Therapy is...devised to correct the substantial difficulties we face understanding ourselves, trusting others, communicating successfully, honoring our potential, and feeling adequately serene, confident, authentic, direct, and unashamed." ~ Alain de Botton

*NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Children and teens face the difficult challenge of expressing and modulating emotions in an adult-focused world. The expectations and pressure are sometimes overwhelming. Stress and distress also impact adults, especially during these unprecedented times. Utilizing client strengths, relationship themes, and self-regulation techniques, I help clients learn to cope effectively instead of suppressing feelings or self-medicating. Together, we can identify problem thoughts and behaviors, how they were historically adaptive, why they are maladaptive now, and how to make positive changes for the future.

Stress, anxiety, relationship conflicts; the list of life's challenges goes on. I will work with you to identify the root of these trials and discover solutions and strategies to navigate the world in a healthy way.

Rooted in empathy, compassion, and non-judgment, with me, you will have a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and feelings. With personalized sessions, we can complete a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.

Currently accepting new patients. Life can be challenging, and sometimes we need to seek support and guidance during difficult times.

I truly believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing and that sometimes we need a professional perspective to help us get unstuck and moving in the right direction. I help both individuals and couples navigate the complexities of their relationships and find solutions to the challenges they face.
