Teletherapy for Hawaii

Whether you are seeking ways to strengthen your relationship to self or others, or experience growth in your development and well-being, I am here to help you navigate these issues and more. I specialize in adolescent and adult therapy with an emphasis on anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and identity concerns. I have worked in school-based settings, child welfare, foster and adoptive care, residential care, and private practice. I work primarily with individuals, but also enjoy working with couples whether it be premarital or marital counseling.

Offering video therapy sessions. Life is a journey. Sometimes at peaks and others valleys. In times of struggle, compassionate, effective therapy can help. If you're experiencing a life transition, struggling with isolation, depression, trauma, anxiety, sleep, having a hard time overcoming a life challenge, exploring spirituality or deeper meaning to life, feeling overly sensitive, experiencing relating challenges, struggling with purpose/direction, dealing with anxiety, communication problems, parenting, struggling with substance misuse, or wanting to connect more deeply to self or others, you are not alone. We are here to help.

I work with individuals, and relationships and people that struggle to effectively communicate their needs. Because of how they were brought up, or conditioned through experience, they might have vastly different ways of showing up in relationships, especially through conflict. We all want to work on what drives our behavior so that we can better understand ourselves and each other. This allows us to be vulnerable with one another and experience our real selves, so we can connect and love on a much deeper and more meaningful and satisfying level.

Asking for help takes courage, and taking the first step towards feeling like yourself again starts here. I provide a supportive and accepting environment that provides the freedom to express your feelings and a place to feel safe and comfortable. Whether you're seeking couples counseling, family counseling or individual counseling, I would be honored to help you on your journey towards healing and change.

I know what it’s like to deeply love someone and yet not bring your best self to the relationship. I learned how to have a healthy relationship through facing my fears of vulnerability and failure and taking responsibility for my actions in my relationship. I seek to help couples who are highly committed to one another and are facing a crisis or struggling to connect. When there is crisis or stress, we often rely on unhelpful habits and ways of communicating that wear on our relationships. Let’s work on that love connection that you are both are wanting.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. We all are impacted by the families we grew up in, events we experienced and the relationships in our lives. It impacts how we view ourselves and the world around us. It determines how we respond to people and events. If you struggle with anxieties, depression, life challenges, and transitions, therapy can open new doors. I view therapy as a collaboration - walking together for a stretch to resolve issues or conflicts you would like to work on.

The world can sometimes feel overwhelming and unsafe, leading to anxiety, depression and stress. Emotional wounds from past experiences, family lineage, present circumstances and life transitions affect how you feel about yourself and others, and how you deal with challenges and opportunities. So it is important to heal those wounds and to learn how to make your life work for you given your needs and gifts. Each of us has a true Self, a Higher Power that, when we connect to it, provides us with the strength and courage to heal and create the life we are meant to live.

I believe that the most important relationship is with your Self, which comprises many parts of you, and how you align these parts with some kind of Higher Power, which I call Good Orderly Direction. When you are Pono with your Self, then can we begin to do healing work on our relationships with others. For relationships will mirror parts of us that may hit raw spots caused by past hurts. We don't need to suffer. Happiness, joy, serenity, and peace are within each and everyone of us. It is our choice, our birthright. Let me help guide you back there. You will remember....

If you're reading this, you've already taken the hardest step toward feeling better - reaching out for help. That's why it's so important my clients feel understood, heard, and supported. I use a collaborative, compassionate, yet direct approach to help my clients gain insight into patterns that may have them feeling "stuck" in place. Among other techniques, I use evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, so you can make the long-term behavior changes that will put you on the right track.

Aloha, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing for over 18 years. My approach to therapy is to build trusting relationships that allow for honesty and authenticity. I assist those I work with to recognize their natural potential, and innate gifts to move past unhealthy patterns and heal old wounds. In the work, we focus on acquiring tools to live in our ever changing world, developing new narratives and cultivating increased awareness. I specialize in trauma related conditions both current and in childhood, as well as depression, anxiety, self-harm, parenting, couples and family conflict.

Life is not always a box of chocolates. Sometimes, it can feel like a bucket of lemons, right? In times when you feel like you’ve tried everything, therapy can provide you a space to breathe, to process, to heal and to understand your true humanity. Together, we can collaborate and create new ways to navigate the unique season that you are in.

Currently accepting new clients! My approach is a down-to-earth combination of the practical and the spiritual. If anxiety, depression, ingrained habits, body image/food issues, or low self-worth are preventing you from having the kind of life you yearn for, that is where I can be of service. Left unprocessed, our early life experiences, traumas, and core beliefs about self & others can hold us back from living our full freedom and potential. I see myself as a guide, holding safe space to help you navigate the questions/challenges and learn to trust your inner wisdom.

Aloha, Are you or your loved ones struggling with anxiety, depression, or chronic pain? Do you find yourself compulsively eating, drinking, working, or seeking relationships in order to fill the inner void? Do you and your partner sometimes get caught in a negative interaction pattern that prevents you from experiencing love and intimacy? I have years of education, training, and clinical experiences to help you process painful emotions, learn new skills, and find new ways of connecting with self, others, and the world. I am licensed in Hawaii and California to see clients from both states.

Currently not accepting new clients! I believe we all need support from time to time.
