Life takes us for turns we don't expect and sometimes we’re able to get through them, but in other times, we can become stuck. We may feel overwhelmed at work, in our marriage, or in other relationships. Perhaps, there are difficulties with a teenager at home or maybe there are feelings of sadness or anxiousness. When life brings us to this point, reaching out for help is a courageous first step toward change. Entering therapy can provide clarity to the confusion and is a safe place to explore alternative avenues toward an improved quality of life.

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! I'm currently accepting client's for individual therapy. I'm here to help with the stresses of island-living and military life on individuals, relationships and careers. I offer brief, practical, solution-based therapies to better cope with trauma, anxiety and sex-addiction. These feelings can stem from combat, sexual or infidelity traumas and make us feel powerless, angry and always on-edge. Getting past trauma and healing can transform our lives forever. My goal is to help my clients heal, live, laugh and love again by tailoring therapy to your unique needs and strengths.

Courage, dear heart, as life will present you with surprises and in time, you will manage each one with bravery. Our families can push our boundaries; our relationships can challenge us; and our careers can stretch us so thin. Negative self-thoughts can keep us in our heads and repeating old patterns can feel like a roller coaster of emotions. Past traumas can intrude our present; social injustices can break our community down; and gender and cultural inequalities can be an exhausting battle. Our self-care can plummet and suddenly we are not our first priority. However, you are leaning in today and making an investment in YOU!

I approach therapy as education - helping clients to better identify patterns associated with difficulties, develop skills to overcome these difficulties, and learn how to utilize these skills in their daily lives in order to live as optimally as possible. We focus both on addressing the issues that have been plaguing you as well as learning to live more fully and comfortably in each moment and activity you are engaged in. Learning powerful skills helps overcome specific problems, boost resilience against future problems, and more fully enjoy daily life. Therapy is individually tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.

As a clinical psychologist, I believe healing emerges through genuine human connection—being truly seen, understood, and supported. My style is warm, accepting, and collaborative, grounded in curiosity rather than judgment or quick fixes. Together, we will explore your story to deepen self-understanding, strengthen authenticity, and foster self-trust. I welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds. I have experience working with immigrants and those navigating cultural transition, belonging, and bicultural identity. I am experienced in working with the LGBTQ+ community and those exploring identity, meaning, or self-expression.

I help BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent adults and teens impacted by chronic stress, complex trauma, and identity invalidation. Research shows that persistent marginalization can dysregulate the nervous system and reinforce survival responses like masking, dissociation, or people-pleasing. My work integrates trauma-informed, relational, and culturally responsive approaches to support emotional regulation, identity development, and self-trust—so clients can move from coping to healing.
