I am motivated to help people gain insight, find resolution, and discover a way to move forward by the end of session. It you choose to participate in long term therapy we can work at a deeper level by having a closer look at your difficult experiences, reprocess and integrate, and discover new ways to relate to the world and find ease and stability, In our sessions we will emphasize building self knowledge at a pace that is right for you, and discovering and updating your ways of coping. For some this process is concentrated in a small area of change, and for some achieving well being means looking at and adjusting multiple areas.

I understand - and appreciate - how difficult the process of choosing a therapist can be. When trying to make this decision there is something in life that is painful. We hurt, feel vulnerable, and finding the right "fit" is essential. I believe that therapy is a powerful opportunity to exam what is, or is not, working in our lives and that everyone has the capacity to meet the challenges and struggles life will inevitably bring. If you are seeking a compassionate listener who will non-judgmentally assist you in making sense of life, I am the therapist you are looking for.

Feeling like you wish you could take a break from the constant inundation of thoughts of fear, shame, or even simply the constant "to do" list in your mind? I can help with that. I work well with folks who have been apprehensive or cynical about beginning therapy in the past. I will challenge you with authenticity and compassion. I have over a decade of experience in working with folks who struggle with anxiety, depression, existential angst, relationship challenges and more. I have a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to helping you gain clarity through life's challenges.

I place value in providing a safe, open, nonjudgemental, supportive space that encourages individuals to find their inner strengths, self-acceptance and build new skills necessary for healing and coping with future challenges and building resilience. Telling your story is an important part of healing. I look forward to listening and finding a place of wellness, self-acceptance & healing. I work with diverse clients of all ages experiencing various mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, self-esteem, relationship issues, and more. I also have a passion for working with children and teens.

I work with individuals, couples & groups as a psychotherapist, business coach, and energy intuitive since 1995. My work tends to the deep needs of the soul and addresses the most basic ego scripts so that you can shift cellular memories, rediscover your true voice, reconnect with your healthiest sense of self and remember your deepest callings--and then find the freedom to seek and find your best and highest self. I facilitate both Family Constellations and Organizational (business) Constellations on-line and in workshops that open you to engage with your deepest creativity and free you from repeating negative patterns.

I assist couples as well as individuals to improve their communication and relationship skills. Honesty and respect for ourselves and others is the key to successful outcome.I implement the Gottman method in relationship therapy and believe that this approach can successfully improve any relationship. It is very applicable in situations where mediation and/or co parenting is indicated. I have experience in cross cultural concerns, abuse and domestic violence situations, depression, anxiety and trauma related situations.

My approach focuses on addressing immediate symptom relief and current life problems with an emphasis on identifying underlying emotional causes that may be contributing to these difficulties. My practice presumes that understanding psychological conflicts underlying unpleasant negative behaviors and/or emotions will help people gain important understanding into their current problems and, consequently, lead them to make considerable changes in their lives.

한국어를 아주 잘함  (Fluent in Korean). One of my greatest strengths as a counselor is my ability to always hold hope for my clients as I walk alongside them in the process of their healing. I use a humanistic approach to create a safe environment built upon warmth, acceptance, and respect, free of judgment. My clients find that they are able to trust in our therapeutic relationship and appreciate my ability to be present, reflect genuine care, and truly listen.

I believe that beneath every symptom that creates our suffering is a wise, healthy, and whole Self yearning to break free of old shackles and guide us home to the person we are meant to be. In this way, I help clients to reconceptualize their issues as road signs that are guiding them on their path of healing; just the same way that physical symptoms like a fever or ache directs us to an ailment that needs addressing, so too do psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, or addictions, point to a deeper underlying wound that is calling to be healed. Our goal is to not simply survive, but thrive.

Life can present some difficult challenges, with the right support these can be incredible opportunities to grow. Starting therapy is the beginning of a journey to find a more connected and fulfilling relationship to ourselves, others and the world we live in. Through guided self exploration you will find healthy ways to manage emotions, make clear decisions, improve relationships, quiet you inner critic and increase self-confidence. You will move toward a feeling of wholeness and fulfillment; experiencing an enriched life with more connection, trust, presence, vitality and happiness.

It has been my experience that an important component of successful therapy is the therapeutic relationship that gets formed. I enjoy working with most people, and find that I am effective to the extent that a safe and trusting space can be created where my client is able to communicate whatever they need to without fear of judgement. I have also found that I am not able to be of any help at all, unless my client is invested in their healing process, willing to do the work that's involved, and is not looking for their therapist to tell them what to do.

Aloha and thank you for taking this step towards self exploration and healing. I have worked as a mental health professional in East Hawaii for thirty years. I provide a safe and supportive environment for those who are motivated to shed light on and explore solutions for depression, anxiety, grief, loss, developmental disabilities, relationships, parenting, adjustments during transitions in life and trauma.
