Therapists in Haleiwa, HI

Aloha! I'm Erin. I’m an O'ahu-based psychotherapist licensed in Hawai'i and Washington. When mental health challenges arise, reaching out for help can feel daunting. However, it may be one of the healthiest choices you make. My hope is to help clients feel more free to be themselves, more connected in their mind and body, and to experience enjoyment in life even amidst the challenges. I have extensive experience treating eating disorders, and working with trauma and grief. My personal and professional background in the fields of mindfulness and sport and performance lends well to working with athletes and high-achievers.

My approach to therapy is based on developing a genuine connection with each client and a sincere curiosity about each person's unique strengths and challenges. My background spans twenty years of assisting people experiencing anxiety/depression, trauma, relationship or family issues, military, and substance abuse/dependence. I provide counseling to clients that are interested in increasing both harmony and stability in their lives. Through the supportive space of a session, clients have an opportunity to awaken to parts of themselves not previously aware of. Therapy has always resonated as a calling for me and not just a career.

Everybody deserves better tomorrows! I believe that. My professional and relational approach is to “meet people where they are." It’s my motto and what I bring to every session. I want to help people build personal awareness by helping them connect their thoughts, emotions, and physical responses. I enjoy working with individuals and couples to achieve understanding and manage life sensations like anger, anxiety (and its family), depression, communication, and OCD. Walking together, the goal is to learn to overcome the things lying to you, stealing time, and hindering life. I hope to connect soon and to work for better tomorrows!

I am a licensed psychologist who truly enjoys helping individuals, couples, and families who need to talk to someone about their unique life problems. I work with a wide range of issues: stress, depression, grief, anxiety, PTSD, anger management, mood swings, addiction, chronic pain, as well as the complex problems of military families. All life's problems can become the motivation toward improving who we are and how we are with others. As a therapist I can help each individual find the quiet voice of their own inner guidance.

Aloha. If you are here, you’re likely struggling with something in your life, a relationship, overwhelming stress or anxiety, depression, trauma, or other unresolved issues from your past. Do you find yourself constantly tense and worried, short tempered, or overthinking everything? Are your challenges impacting your performance at work, your relationships, or the way you parent? Would you like to be better able to manage your emotions and thoughts and have more awareness and control over your actions and responses? Or maybe you are curious about therapy and want to know if it can help you find more joy, love and peace in your life.

Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest decisions to make for yourself. Maybe you are used to putting everyone else's need before your own. I'm glad that you have made it this far. Maybe you are struggling with over thinking, constant worry, or feel overwhelmed and would like to feel more at peace. Maybe you feel shut down and detached from your own emotions and would like to feel more present. I have been working in the Behavioral Health field for over 20 years and have seen the healing benefits of therapy and encourage you to take that first step in showing up for yourself.

I believe in using mindfulness and meditation as a tool to help clients develop a mind-body connection to support resilience and healing. I have found the best approach is finding a holistic model that works for each individual. I hope to create a warm, safe and non-judgmental space when working with clients. I feel it is an honor to help anyone who has decided they want help. I am dedicated to helping clients find inner peace and the tools needed to navigate life and improve thier interpersonal relationships.
