Therapists in Kahului, HI

Aloha! Hawaii is a melting pot for cultures and growing up here has taught me to embrace and honor the diverse needs of each person I meet. Understanding your culture means understanding how you experience the world. My goal is to provide you an environment where you feel safe and supported in order to help gain new insights that will result in a more enriched and empowered experience of life. Together, we will identify barriers and work towards shifting patterns of thoughts and beliefs.

Change is all around us lately. Are you simply surviving and searching for ways to thrive? Sometimes we have the tools and other times we need someone to inspire, create, motivate or teach us what it takes to thrive. I have worked on Maui, Molokai, and Lanai for the past 23 years. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families searching for ways to better themselves. I have provided support for people experiencing grief/loss, parenting challenges, trauma/crisis, children with special needs, prisoner reintegration, and couples/families searching for healing and growth.

We all experience challenges in our lives, but with insight and strong relationships we can explore new perspectives together. I can assist you with expressing yourself with greater ease and confidence, coping with grief and loss, uncovering and remembering your authentic self, identifying priorities and skills, and developing more peace in your life. Whether you are adjusting to a life change, struggling with anxiety, trauma, or depression, or facing challenges in your relationships, I offer a range of individualized services to help foster awareness, resilience, and positivity.

Traditional talk therapy not enough? Are you interested to access more of your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical resources? Combining Western psychology with alternative/eastern wisdom, I can help you learn how to handle the enormous stresses life often entails in a compassionate, warm and body-centered way. My specialties include: relationship patterns, deep family patterns, shamanic counseling, reclaiming lost parts of yourself, attachment theory. Creative, engaging and efficient, this work will empower you to explore your mind freely. The more we know our own mind, the more we become the driver rather than the driven.

Life can be full of hurdles and feel overwhelming at times. I help individuals to become stronger in the places that feel broken by helping to discover the strengths that live within. Through therapy, growth and healing can emerge as we work to rebuild feelings of wholeness and fulfillment. The work can be a challenge but also rewarding and life changing. I see individuals who are looking for help during stressful times, when feeling stuck, or feeling tired of suffering from hard experiences. If this sounds familiar just know that there is help for you where you can find hope in living the life you want.

Sometimes we all need a bit of extra support. Therapy can be the key to increasing insight into relationships you have with yourself and others. Additionally, healing mentally and emotionally often includes addressing possible physical dysfunction, and I am pleased to also offer functional, nutritional and health psychology services in conjunction with experiential and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapeutic approaches. I provide an open, non-judgmental and safe space just for you to find peace, wellness and balance.

Something in your life doesn't feel right and you're hoping for something different. Maybe trauma from the past, stress from the present, fear of the future, or all of those at once needs your attention. I welcome you to create awareness and take steps toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Therapy can offer the space and time for reflection, relief, and understanding. I believe all of our emotions, even the really difficult ones, are helpful signals to tell us something important and when we listen, see, and understand them we can make space for our true selves while also creating new options to face life.

Aloha! I am certified in Brainspotting (BSP), which is a proven modality that quickly and permanently heals trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, as well as many other issues. I have also been trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is a proven modality to help trauma survivors. I have also been trained in art therapy and Neurofeedback. Please check out my website for more information.

I feel that the client for me is someone who is currently working on his/her inner awareness and how this then affects his/her life externally. This can be calmly working on life issues or the anxiety that can come when faced with existential issues of mortality (their own or a loved one's), such as with terminal illnesses or the important issue of "Who am I"?
