Therapists in Kailua, HI

Life can be scary and uncertain. Especially right now. We are all trying to figure out how to feel "normal" through the increased & unexpected stressors brought by the pandemic. We often don't consider the importance in asking for help until we feel so heavy we don't know where to turn. My role is to help you identify your strengths and help provide tools to manage the difficult emotions. Anxiety, depression, and fear are all exacerbated during a time of crisis. Some of us are isolated without much social support and are experiencing strain in our relationships with family, friends, or colleagues.

We all encounter difficult times in life. Fortunately, the loneliness, pain, loss, and stress that we experience within these times are not permanent. They are not the end of the story. Rather, it is in our nature to overcome the difficulties and adversity that we are faced with. A deeper wisdom, softer heart, and inner strength await on the the other side of our struggles. While facing our struggles independently of others has its value, wisdom lies in recognizing the importance of trusting in safe relationships to help us through the difficult times that we face.

Hi! Are you experiencing emotional, cognitive and/or physical symptoms that negatively affect the quality of your life and/or relationships in general? Taking a HOLISTIC approach to well-being is proven to be effective. A holistic approach is based on current evidence-based research, which supports the mind-body connection. A HOLISTIC approach also honors your religious/spiritual values. Expect to be "seen" and respected as you heal! Oftentimes, a non-biased, non-judgmental perspective and caring guidance can help.

Stress is a natural reaction to challenges with work, school, relationships and loss. When sadness, worry, concentration problems, or other disruptions result, talking to a trained professional often helps. Foremost in my philosophy is that people are fundamentally good and have the natural ability to grow toward their fullest potential. An objective, trained professional can often provide a catalyst for successful adaptation to life's challenges. It is a privilege, honor, and responsibility to work with others toward their personal goals of enhancing health, productivity, and the enjoyment of life!

Whether you are struggling with longstanding emotional difficulties or are experiencing a sudden stressor or loss, therapy can help you learn how to cope with overwhelming emotions and unhelpful thoughts. I primarily use a cognitive-behavioral treatment approach, which will allow you to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences. We can work together to help you experience positive changes in your life, including improved mood, reduced symptoms, and a healthier relationship with yourself and others.
