Therapists in Lahaina, HI

I am here to help you stop running and start living! Your healing is a journey that needs a strong co-pilot! I specialize in deep trauma work (emotional, sexual, spiritual, relational, and physical) when other types of therapy have not worked for you. I use EMDR as one of my primary tools for trauma work where possible to hasten healing. I work to strengthen that inner voice inside of you to help you find your healing your way. I use techniques I learned working with world renowned professionals, including being fully trained in EMDR, (EMDRIA) a trauma resolution technique.

When it comes to making meaningful life changes, there are things that work and things that don't. If you feel like you've tried everything - or are desperate to try something new and don't know where to start - I can help. If you or a loved one are facing challenges at work, school, in relationships, with health, or simply feel overwhelmed and exhausted by the demands of daily living, there is help available. If you are looking for solutions that work, you've come to the right place. I use evidence-based techniques for real, rapid, observable change.

Life can be full of challenges and unexpected events. I can help assist you in processing the things you can't control, while simultaneously taking charge of the things you can control. Whether you are suffering from PTSD, sexual abuse, death of a loved one, divorce, chronic illness, cancer, work issues, addiction, depression, or anxiety, you do not need to navigate those challenges alone. Every day life (and a pandemic!) can also be reason enough to want additional support. Together, we can explore and identify the patterns in your life that are no longer helpful so you can become your best self!

"It is my belief that the purpose of therapy is to provide a loving, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space; allowing for the full exploration of all aspects of one's Self. With the goal of helping that person come to better accept their humanity; and within that acceptance, open pathways for healing and growth."

UNFORTUNATELY I AM NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. Anyone can have a time in their life when they may need to speak with someone to help them get some clarity or another perspective. First we need to see where you are in that process and together develop a plan to help you learn the skills you need to improve your daily functioning, improve your relationship with yourself and others, improve your ability to self-sooth and self-regulate, increase your ability to "bounce back" from difficulties and/or increase your sense of connection and self-worth. Relationships are rewarding and hard work. I often work with couples/families.

We all go through periods in our lives in which our goals seem out of reach. Turbulent life transitions, anxiety, and depression can leave us feeling immobilized and discouraged. These experiences can also be invitations to dig deeper, to let go of limiting beliefs and habits, and to summon what truly produces contentment, connection, and joy. My goal as a therapist is to support each client on their own unique journey toward thriving.

I work with accomplished professionals seeking an equally accomplished therapist to support and challenge them to live their best lives. You may be discouraged, feeling you've tried everything. I've consistently been able to help clients who have been unable to find help anywhere else. Practicing Emotionally Focused Therapy, a therapy with a 73% success rate vs. the 35% success rate of traditional couples therapy, makes all the difference. Your motivation plus my expertise = your goals realized. Let me help you create, heal, and strengthen your relationship with yourself and your loved ones.

Everyone can benefit from therapy. Each of us has unique challenges and worries that we may not want to share with our friends and family. We all need a safe person to listen without judgment. Whether you have a specific need you would like to work on or several topics to process, I am here for you. If you experienced childhood or adult trauma and you feel that it is affecting your ability to live your life to it's fullest, it may be time to see a therapist and work through it. I teach clients how to regulate their nervous system and decrease shame and self-blame. I believe that we should not have to work so hard to be okay!

I have been helping couples for the last decade in my private practice manage their conflict in healthier, more effective ways. I am now offering in person couple's retreats on the Island of Maui. We will take a deep dive into your relationship and learn what your blocks are and if we can begin to remove them or learn how to navigate them. You will also leave with a plan on how to maintain this new way of connecting with one another over the months and years to come. I also offer an online course for couple, which uses the research done by Dr.'s John and Julie Gottman and The Gottman Institute. www.marriage-therapy.teachable.com

Many people experience a deep sense of longing often described as a feeling of emptiness. What we use to fix or fill that emptiness can begin addictive processes like alcoholism, love addiction, and codependency. My approach is to meet that longing with compassion, understanding and love. Often the problem that causes us discomfort is an old way of coping that a part of us believes we need. Together we find the meaning that is generating or keeping the presenting symptom or problem in place and then move to swiftly create positive lasting change.

Do stress, depression, anxiety, or other troubling issues interfere with your ability to work, sleep, enjoy healthy relationships, or to pursue your life's goals? Counseling may help you. Some find counseling helpful for day-to-day stresses and difficulties; others go to counseling for help with more significant problems and symptoms. There is no "one-size-fits-all" reason for seeking counseling. Maui Counseling Group has been providing services to Maui's families since 1999.

I have worked with a broad spectrum of emotional problems that affect mental health and I have a perspective that includes the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit. I honor your uniqueness and approach this work together with curiosity. I am committed to providing a safe, respectful, empathic, nonjudgmental setting to explore your issues together.

I know it takes a lot to recognize the need for extra support and you should be proud of yourself. I want you to feel like I am a good fit for you along this journey. Finding the right person to help you through these challenges is very important. I have been a social worker for the past six years. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with post- partum mood disorders, family conflict, parenting issues and life transitions. I also have experience working with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds such military families, adolescents, and individuals in the LGBT community

As a therapist, I work with clients to create, meet, and maintain their goals. My approach is empathetic and passionate while using evidence based treatment strategies. If you are looking for individual, family or couple therapy, you have found the right place. Take a moment, look around, and feel free to contact me to answer any questions you might have. Currently I am providing services virtually through telehealth.

Have you tried years of talk therapy but still feel stuck or lost? I was there once but came to an undeniable realization through my own journey: adverse experiences were essential ingredients in the actualization process. I had to work diligently to become ready, willing, and able to take that existential leap of faith. Those of us who took the leap are now understanding the meaning and purpose of our suffering and are generating sustainable wholeness. We are individuals with childhood challenges, family chaos, couple disharmony, and multigenerational pain from social cultural grieving. Are you one of us and are you ready to leap?
