I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, stress, burnout, communication, and parenting. When we meet, we will discuss together what goals we want to work towards in counseling. I like to build upon individual strengths as we tackle your life challenges. I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as they hold the belief that all forms of human suffering is a normal part of life. I also take a holistic view in your overall health.
I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Hawaii and a Certified Digital Health and Wellness Level 1 Professional (CDHWP).
I know it can be hard to take that first step to reach out for counseling. Although counseling may be different for everyone, it is a time to focus on you, and fill your cup. I hope that you take the next step and find a counselor that is right for you.
