You are not a problem to be solved, rather, you're a person to be understood. You've been through some difficult and painful experiences in your life. Sometimes you can’t stop the tears from streaming down your face. You may even feel overwhelmed by anxiety - even to the point of having a panic attack. It can come out of nowhere, and you don’t understand what triggered it or how to make yourself feel better.

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.
