Relationship Issues Therapists in Waipahu, HI

Do you find yourself burdened with repetitive thoughts of “Why can’t I escape my past?” or you can’t seem to escape the guilt or shame associated with a past traumatic event? Do you find it nearly impossible to find peace? These very things rob us daily from experiencing joy, confidence, happiness, peace, and healthy relationships. Relationships are my passion, especially those concerning individuals suffering from issues related to communication, addiction, sexual abuse, loss of identity, intimacy, marriage/divorce, depression, and broken trust. Each individual, in my opinion, is unique and my approach is tailored case specific.

Are you feeling sad, frustrated, or stressed? Are you tired of your problems weighing you down? Are you having difficulties in your relationship? Therapy can enhance self-growth and self-actualization. Let's work together to overcome barriers and improve your life to an optimistic outlook.

“Give yourself the same care and attention that you give others and watch yourself bloom.” – The Sprouting Sunflower We often focus our energies on taking care of others and everything around us that we forget to take care of ourselves. Then we become overwhelmed, stressed, and feel many mixed emotions causing us to remain stuck in our patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaviors. Feeling stuck can significantly impact our relationship with others and with ourselves that leads to unhealthy ways of coping and feeling that everything might be "too much".

I work with survivors of PTSD and Complex trauma, including relationship trauma and dissociation disorders. Common issues my clients present with include challenges with setting relationship boundaries with friends and family, coping with intense emotions, and an inability to be decisive in small or big life choices. Many are survivors of sexual or physical childhood abuse. Others say "childhood wasn't that bad," but have an intense inner critic and struggle with attracting and maintaining positive relationships and occupations, and are often unaware of the impact of emotional neglect and harsh criticism they experienced.

Do you find yourself waking up, thoughts swirling in the middle of the night? Feeling like there’s too much to juggle? Work, family, friends …your relationships at odds? Angry, frustrated? Anxious? Or feeling blue and unmotivated? Let’s talk.

You can’t control the challenging factors you are faced with in life but you can be empowered by how you perceive and respond. Difficulties, trials, struggles, pain, and grief are unavoidable even if you perceive to make the "right" choices. Life can be hard sometimes and unfair. Even the daily stressors of work, career, family, responsibilities, life transitions, difficult relationships, and lack of expectations being met can weigh you down. You live life through experiences, and experiences are understood through your perceptions. When you develop the tools to manage your perceptions, you can also manage those experiences.
