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.

Insomnia affects every facet of your life. Your insomnia might be making you feel depressed or anxious, frustrated with poor memory or mental “fog,” or like you’re constantly sick. However it’s manifesting, you’re starting to see the effects: relationships are suffering, work is slipping, life feels dull, and you feel helpless to stop it. You need sound solid sleep because you need to feel better, but even more than that, you want to get to the root of this problem altogether...so you can get rid of it for good. You’re ready to not stress every night as you lie awake, to heal past wounds in your life, and to feel hope again.

I have been in private practice for 10+ years focusing on clients with relationship issues, personal growth, depression, anxiety, and LGBT issues. I view therapy as a collaboration where we discover the areas where you want to make changes in your life and work toward reaching your full potential. I believe it is important that you have a good fit with your therapist, and I begin the process by discussing your unique issues you are bringing to therapy to determine if I can be an effective therapist for you.

I am a Psychological Associate at Aloha Psych Associates. I am inspired by the “aloha spirit,” drawing on Hawaiian concepts like ‘alo’ (presence), ‘ha’ (breath of life), ‘mana’ (healing energy), and ‘ohana’ (family and connectedness). Over the past decade, I worked across clinical, medical, and forensic settings, providing both individual and group therapy. I have led psychoeducation groups focused on pain, stress, and emotional regulation, conducted psychological assessments, and supervised graduate-level trainees. I am well versed in collaborating with physicians, case managers, and rehabilitation teams.

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.
