In 1996, I began working with culturally diverse children, adolescents, adults and families in Oahu through a community health center in Honolulu.. The increasing need for mental health services for this population has challenged me to recognize, accept, and understand the complexities of their problems - challenges that offer potential for personal and professional growth, creativity, and deeper human connection. I had the opportunity since then to draw on various psychological approaches that include Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Existential, System/Family, Developmental and Psychoeducational.
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and I provide the following services in my private practice: Individual psychotherapy, play therapy for children, couple/marital therapy and family therapy.
I am a big believer that all human beings are capable of overcoming trials and tribulations in life so when you are ready, please do not hesitate to take the first step to seek help. In my practice, I experienced people wanting to safely talk to somebody who will listen and won’t judge them. Remember I am just a phone call or a text message away!
