Living with OCD and anxiety can feel like being trapped in your own mind—exhausted by intrusive thoughts, rituals, or constant worry. Even when everything seems “fine” on the outside, it’s hard to relax, focus, or enjoy life. You may feel misunderstood or unsure where to turn next. I offer specialized, evidence-based therapy for OCD, anxiety, phobias, panic, and body-focused behaviors, providing focused, culturally responsive care for teens, adults, or parents seeking help for their child. Working with a qualified expert can make all the difference.
You may have tried therapy before, but felt it didn’t address what you were truly facing. It’s not about being “too anxious”—it’s about needing real, specialized support. I offer evidence-based therapy for OCD, anxiety, body-focused repetitive behaviors like trichotillomania, eating disorders, trauma, and related struggles with care and clarity.
I’m based on O’ahu and offer in-person sessions, as well as telehealth across Hawaiʻi. I provide free 15-minute consultations to help us see if we’re a good fit. Let’s work together to help you find relief and the freedom to live fully.

I work with clients struggling with OCD, anxiety, fear, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), and eating disorders. In our initial sessions, we'll explore these issues deeply and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them. Most clients experience gradual symptom improvement within the first month, with sustained progress afterward.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a focus on behavioral approaches in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then collaboratively develop a treatment plan to meet your goals. With CBT, we will uncover ways of thinking and behaving that affect your emotional experience, discover new solutions, and work to discard unhelpful patterns.
