I am a licensed therapist in both California and Hawaii, with specialized training in EMDR. If you are feeling lost, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the future, you are not alone. The pandemic, political unrest, and uncertainty with the current administration may have disrupted your sense of stability, leaving you facing isolation, depression, or a lack of motivation. You may be struggling with relationships, finances, or substance use. No matter what challenges you are experiencing, if you find yourself feeling anxious, guilty, or confused, now is the time to reclaim control of your life.
I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions and embrace your true self. My approach is warm, compassionate, and client-centered, helping you navigate your journey toward self-acceptance and personal growth. Together, we will create a personalized plan tailored to your needs, allowing you to explore your thoughts
Like you, I have experienced change and uncertainty, and I understand the importance of support and guidance during difficult times. My sessions are goal-oriented, blending intuition with evidence-based techniques such as relaxation strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and the Hawaiian practice of “talk story.”
I look forward to meeting you.
