I support adults and older adults navigating life transitions, grief, caregiver stress, and mental health challenges. My background includes working with kūpuna (55+) living with serious mental illness and substance use, as well as young adult parents facing trauma and life stressors.
My approach is multicultural, relational, and strengths-based. As an eclectic therapist, I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities such as CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed models to meet you where you are.
Whether you're facing loss, burnout, or a new chapter in life, I offer a compassionate space where you can feel heard and supported.
