Teletherapy for Koloa, HI

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA with over 15 years of hands on mental health case management and clinical experience working with adolescents, young adults, family units, and parents struggling with mental illness, substance abuse recovery, self-harm, suicidality, parenting, unresolved trauma, and other behavioral and emotional issues pertaining to all areas of their lives.

I believe that even the most challenging and difficult experiences can be used as catalysts for creating positive change and growth. Providing solution focused support with a strengths-based practice I strive to educate and create ownership around ability for growth with my clients. I focus on building comfort with discomfort, gaining skills and obtaining resilience to manage emotions and stress. My treatment approach is client centered with specific intent to identify client’s strengths and tailor treatment to fit their needs, background and personality.

I specialize in healing and change for the relationship problems of individuals, couples, families, and organizations. Whether you come to therapy pushed by external circumstances--a death, trauma, or divorce--or by internal symptoms--depression, panic, physical illness--good psychotherapy offers a chance to begin deep healing and transformative change.

Tired of feeling overwhelmed by chronic pain? By life? Despite visiting numerous doctors, you've found no real answers or relief. You're not alone. I've recovered from years of chronic pain, so I understand firsthand how debilitating it can be. Your pain is 100% real—it's not just "all in your head." Here's the thing: our bodies are deeply connected to our thoughts and emotions. If you're ready to address the root cause of your chronic symptoms, I can guide you towards relief and empowerment, offering strategies to relieve not only your pain but also to address issues like anxiety, depression, grief, and identity development.

Some chapters in our lives are harder than others. Does this one feel like it’s been going on too long? It’s not uncommon to feel stuck or unsure of what to do next. Change can be scary, but it is also an opportunity for a better life! Are life’s burdens wearing you down? Are you struggling in your close relationships or with a troubled marriage? Are you a young adult trying to find your way, someone burdened by parenting demands, facing health or employment challenges, or grieving a loss? We can work together to identify obstacles to your happiness & build on your strengths as we work together toward the next chapter in your life!

Do you struggle with intrusive thoughts, distressing memories, and anxiety? EMDR therapy helps to effectively process trauma and allows you to live you life with more ease and regulation. I work with adults and teens to relieve symptoms of PTSD, OCD, addiction, and insomnia. If you have tried talk therapy but still struggle, I welcome you to try EMDR. I utilize ego-state parts work and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy as needed. Throughout the healing process, you will notice increased self-trust and a natural release of old coping strategies. You deserve to live life fully, free from the distraction and pain of old wounds.
