On the outside, your life might look put together—job, education, relationships. But inside, it can feel very different. You may be carrying stress, anxiety, depression, or the lingering pain of past experiences. I work with individuals, often those of Asian ancestry, who are trying to navigate the tension between cultural/familial/societal expectations, and their own needs and values.

I am a Marriage & Family Therapy Intern at Aloha Psych with a background in education and school counseling, working with children, teens, couples, individuals, and families. 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). As a certified parent educator since 2007, I bring experience teaching practical, evidence-based tools that support emotional growth, strengthen relationships, and build everyday life skills.

Life can feel complicated, and at times it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself. Stress, anxiety, self-criticism, or unresolved experiences can weigh heavily and make it hard to move forward. You may be doing all the “right things” but still not finding the clarity, balance, or sense of peace you’re looking for.

I'm trained in EMDR, a trauma-focused intervention that helps the brain process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge.
You're probably here because a relationship or breakup has taken up more mental space than you'd like to admit. You keep replaying conversations, rereading text messages, trauma dumping on your friends, and asking ChatGPT for advice... wondering where and how it all went wrong. Sleep is off, focus is shot, and part of you feels embarrassed by how consumed you are. You know something isn’t working, yet you're still spiraling and don't know how make it stop. Here's the thing: you're not crazy. You’re stuck. And all the analyzing, ruminating, and hoping something will change isn't helping you get unstuck – it’s keeping you in limbo.
