Do you have deep insight into your struggles, yet still find yourself stuck in the same painful patterns? As a licensed psychologist, I take great pride in helping clients break free from these cycles—especially when insight alone isn't enough. My specialty is treating attachment issues, suppressed anger, low self-esteem, depression, and recurring relationship concerns that often lead to shame, anger, and fear. I draw from Jungian, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioral approaches, integrating Christian faith and Evidence-Based Practice as the foundation of my work.

To provide information about how individuals' beliefs, feelings, and behavioral patterns may impact self-reflecting and relationships with others, I employ a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused therapy. Another important aspect of my work is to emphasize how trauma might impact people's perspectives on their future objectives. I am also well aware of the need of adapting my therapy methods to each individual's distinct needs, which is why I employ a client-centered approach.

I am here to help you achieve greater wellbeing and fulfillment in life and sport. It is normal to develop anxiety, depression, and trauma in response to the pressure to perform in our modern world, and some turn to substances and other unhelpful coping behaviors to help. Many youth and adults who are athletes and in the general population do not always have the support needed to thrive. That’s where I come in.

I’m Samoan/Tokelauan, queer, and born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m direct, relational, and reflective in how I work. I started in early childhood mental health, which shaped how I understand people. It showed me how much our relationships, community, and culture influence who we become. The same things that help a young child grow — safe relationships, learning to identify and manage emotions, and having the freedom to explore — continue shaping us as adults.
