Let's Connect (808) 419-7277
I have particular compassion and knowledge for those with transgender and sexual orientation issues and with survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault. I am familiar with the social stigma and trauma that can result from being a person with these issues and have helped many overcome the resulting emotional and psychological distress.
I am a humanistic person-centered therapist, which means that I believe that you are the expert on yourself and it is my role to guide you in the process of finding your best true self. I do my best to work with my clients with compassion and respect.
I also have extensive training and experience in working with couples.
