I enjoy treating individuals who feel "stuck" in their lives. There are many obstacles in life that create dismay and life dissatisfaction including phase of life issues, grief and loss, issues with intimacy and attachment, career dissatisfaction, unresolved family of origin issues and impulsive/compulsive coping behaviors to name a few. I enjoy helping people getting back to thriving and feeling generally content with themselves and their lives.

Aloha, I am a Couples and Family Therapist. My approach emphasizes the importance of working with a couple and family as a system that influence one another. To restructure healthy relationships, I use therapies that promote positive interactions between individuals. My methods include trans-generational, structural family therapy, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and Gottman Therapy. I use exercises such as enactments to help clients set new appropriate boundaries, build love maps to improve interactions and establish loving communication.

I assist clients with changing the narrative of their stories. The client is the expert regarding their life; however, I guide and/or challenge each client by refocusing them back to their targeted goals.

My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself that YOU want to be. I provide a positive, compassionate, judgment-free environment, allowing you to be yourself from the first session. When you are in a session with me, you can expect to feel respected, heard, and understood, all while continuing to address your needs. Every session will be catered to you and your specific challenges at that time. I can help you manage anxiety, symptoms of depression, relationship challenges, workplace struggles, or just the stressors of daily life, along with anything else in between. Together, we will make you better.

I strongly believe in the importance of providing a safe, authentic, and accepting space for my clients to be able to take the brave steps necessary to obtain the growth and healing they desire. My personal and professional experiences have shaped my desire to support those who have been feeling stuck in a certain area of life, are struggling with life transitions and desiring skills to actively alter their current chapter. I commit to walk alongside my clients amidst their renewed strength, understanding, resilience, and hope.
