I have over 35 years in the helping profession. My specially is in relationships isuues. Experience working with individuals, couples, families, organizations, and businesses. I am specialized in interpersonal, structural, and systemic issues. I have supervised mental health professionals, both PhD and Masters level, for more than 15 years. I am also knowledgeable about the system of care in the State of Hawaii. My hope is to help you set goals, utilize your strengths, and help you, or your business, overcome any potential barriers that may be distracting you form your mission and goals in life.
I will try and help you establish specific, measurable, achievable, and realistically timed goals, in order to achieve the success and fulfillment you are looking for in life. If we decide I am not the best fit for you, I will attempt to assist you with the most appropriate referral to meet your needs.
Life is not easy and we all have different experiences. I truly believe if I were to walk in your shoes, or "slippers" for your entire experience so far in this life, whatever you are doing or feeling, would likely make perfect sense to me. I believe in starting from a non judgmental place of understanding in my adventure with others.
