Immediate Openings Available - Through thick and thin the longest relationship you will have is with yourself, yet so often we give so much to others and forget to give to ourselves. We may not realize this until life piles up and feels hard to carry on our own. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, confused, or like it's time to put yourself first, now is the time. Therapy can be a place to deeper understand your experiences, foster your relationship with yourself, and heal. Together we can identify what you're experiencing, process historical and current contexts, and move through it to a place of healing.
I specialize in working with identity development, relationships, transitions, intersectionality, stress, meaning making/existentialism, college students, Indigenous peoples, and cultural healing. I utilize relational and cultural frameworks to provide individually tailored treatment with a variety of different modalities to meet each person’s unique needs.
As a Native Hawaiian, my therapeutic practice aims to recenter and reindigenize mental health/well-being through authentic connection, decreasing stigma, and increasing your trust within yourself and deeper ways of knowing. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can work together on your healing journey so you can lead the authentic life you want.
