Therapists in Honolulu, HI

*Accepting new clients* "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." -Dr. Maya Angelou. We have all experienced feeling “stuck” in our lives at some point. Whether it be in school, work, personal relationships and family, it’s difficult sometimes not knowing how to move forward. Feeling stuck is more a circumstance and doesn't have to be a choice. Together we can make necessary changes to build a healthier and better life.

Most people come to therapy because they need some kind of support or are looking for change in their life. While this sounds simple, it is not easy to accomplish, since we may be taught not to ask for help or to just accept things the way they are. Someone who may benefit from therapy the most would be someone who can keep an open mind, be motivated to work toward change, and to have patience to allow the process to work.

On the surface, things may seem great, but it doesn’t always feel that way on the inside. You see others and are constantly comparing yourself and fall short of where you believe “you should be in life”. Maybe you feel stuck, detached or discouraged. Maybe you are struggling with a significant life transition, addiction, ADD, trauma, or grief. I help people who feel scattered and overwhelmed gain clarity and purpose so that they can move from self-doubt and self-criticism to confidence, acceptance, and self-love. In therapy, we will work together to understand the barriers that are in the way of you living your best life.

Aloha! I hope to assist you to gain insight into your relationship with yourself and others so that you can realize your full potential in life. Whether the focus is on your feelings, thoughts, dreams, behavioral patterns or some other aspect of your self, I'd like to help you live more fully and reach your goals by recognizing and adjusting patterns and becoming more in tune with the mana (power) within you. I hope that you will trust me and the therapeutic process to help you see opportunities in your challenges.

I am charismatic, genuine, and kind combined with an approach that is nonjudgmental, allowing clients a comfortable space to discuss concerns. My approach is rooted in Freudian theory to help build a strong therapist / client alliance. The goal is to help clients develop the necessary psychological tools to deal with complicated feelings and situations.

Going through tough times (and don't we all experience those?) is when finding support really matters. I'm so glad to be able to be there for my clients when they are struggling to maintain relationships, managing work stress, trying to overcome mental and emotional obstacles, and so many other issues so many are facing today. It's my privilege to stay by your side and walk you through these life stressors in a caring, supportive, and non-judgmental way.

Sometimes, you may experience some life obstacles that lower your quality of living. It helps to talk about your difficulties in psychotherapy so that you may learn the strategies and coping mechanisms to better deal with your difficulties, raise your quality of life, and enjoy your relationships with others. In my practice, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where we can discuss these issues and find solutions together. I provide services to individuals (from the toddler to elderly age groups), families, and couples.

We all have the desire to experience connection and contribution to the community beyond ourselves. Often on this journey, we experience significant challenges and stuck periods. I believe each individual has the capability to overcome these obstacles given a nurturing and supportive environment. When working with clients, I attempt to provide this environment in order for my clients to enact meaningful change in their lives.

Aloha, and welcome to Psychotherapy Hawaii! I like to use a multi-faceted approach tailored to the unique needs of YOU and to best help you with whatever you are struggling with. I believe that change happens when one is given the guidance to draw on your own strengths and realize your potential to live a fulfilling, happy life. I strongly believe that we all benefit from therapy, and not just when we are in crisis! If you are starting to feel a bit unbalanced, this is a great time to work with a therapist to help you find that balance in your life again. I work with both Hawaii and New York clients in person and over telehealth.

Are you struggling with aspects of your sex life or sexuality? Are you ashamed of your sexual feelings, actions, or preferences? Do you find yourself hiding your sexual behavior from others or masturbating more than you wish? Do you identify as LGBTQIA & struggling with coming out? Do you feel discomfort with your assigned gender & need support around transitioning? Do you have unresolved painful feelings interfering with your ability to have a satisfying sexual relationship? Are you having relationship difficulties due to an affair?

If you have a child with behavioral difficulties and need to decrease outbursts, if you cannot get your adolescent to listen, or don’t know what to do to support your teenager who is struggling with mood swings, I can help. Whether you are an individual or a parent who wants to improve your quality of life, a couple or a family that wants better cohesiveness, I have worked as an individual and family therapist on many of the Hawaiian islands with local families and families new to the islands on a plethora of issues.

I value the diversity in all human beings. For each client, I try to open my mind and heart to understanding your experiences as fully as possible - your strengths, difficulties, your desire for change. It's important to know the context of your life - how individual, familial, and societal influences impact your situation. I work toward helping clients make and find meaning in their choices, to build strength even in the face of adversity. I have a lot of compassion for people, and can accompany you with kindness through the sometimes painful journey of working through tough issues.

Aloha from Therohana! I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist here to help you get to a better version of yourself! If you're looking for a safe space to talk to someone and heal, I am here for you. I can help support you if you are experiencing overthinking patterns or negative emotions. It can be tough to go through these situations alone. If your goal is to have more positive thinking and gain tools for a healthier mindset, I would love to work with you. If you've never tried therapy before and want to get started, it can be a great experience for you to process your emotions safely.

Everyone has the basic need to be understood. But to be fully known and truly loved, can free us to live authentically, help us to live in harmony with one another, and get us through all obstacles in life! I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, where each session is tailored to fit the client’s needs. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. The best way to help clients is by creating a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment in which clients can heal, thrive, and navigate through their life’s path.

I believe that therapy isn’t necessarily about “fixing what’s wrong” with you. Rather, it’s a place to recognize and develop what you do well. People are full of inherent strengths and talents that can be discovered and refined to extend one’s potential and utilized when times are challenging. Through active listening, empathy and understanding, I offer insight, perspective and support to empower clients to navigate their life path.

I specialize in supporting clients' who struggle with issues surrounding lack of self-esteem, trust issues, and purpose in life. I will genuinely listen to them and hear their concerns. I will work with the clients to gain an understanding of their goals and will help find solutions for their concerns.
