I am a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with over twenty-five years of work experience. I am Associate Clinical Professor in Psychiatry at the University of Hawaii Medical School. I am licensed in Hawaii and New York and located in downtown Honolulu.

I also conduct psychological evaluations, provide consultations and clinical supervision.

Experiencing painful feelings or distress in a relationship, work, in life, perhaps along with low mood or too much tension? I am interested in your story. It is natural to feel overwhelmed at times and it is not a sign of weak character to seek help. In a safe environment, as we explore the internal conflicts and patterns that get in the way of living fully, healing and change can result. Insight can also emerge from actions taken in life - what it is that you do and how you do it - and this is also explored in therapy.
