A person plays many roles over the course of one’s life; some fill the role of a Lover, or a Fighter, Mother or Father, Sister, Brother, or Friend. No matter what role you currently play, the world may have pulled you away from the most important role you can play, which is the role of developing the best version of YOU, that's possible. My approach is based on embracing each person as a whole being, and by learning and growing together through the therapeutic relationship. This allows my clients to find and reembrace their true selves, as they redefine and refresh the roles they play in their own lives.

Do you find yourself with internal conflict related to your authentic self and your culture? Does it seem to be difficult to identify and implement your personal needs/boundaries? As a Pasifika womxn, I realize there are many factors that impact our ability to choose joy in our life due to the uniqueness of many of our rich Indigenous cultures. Working through anxiety, frustrations and life transitions can be very difficult when we feel bad or can't seem to choose ourselves enough.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has several years of experience working with system-involved youth and families. In my work, I regularly address issues related to complex trauma, attachment, relationship instability, grief, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. I entered the field of mental health because I feel passionate about increasing access to affordable and quality mental health services. In my practice, I am sensitive to the ways in which systems such as racism, patriarchy, classism, colonization, ableism, and other forms of oppression impact us on an individual and macro level.
