My own experiences with anxiety brought me to this field. I am passionate about helping to illuminate root causes and connecting mind/body/spirit. I also treat symptoms of depression, grief, addiction, and PTSD. I love being able to guide LGBTQ+ individuals navigating their sexuality, gender identity, and/or spirituality.
I utilize DBT for increased emotional regulation, mindfulness skills, and assertive communication. I incorporate Internal Family Systems to increase self-compassion and self-awareness. As a yoga instructor I can weave therapeutic movement, breath work, and meditation into sessions as well.
I bring to my therapeutic work my experience living in the Kingdom of Tonga and the Hawaiian islands for the past ten years. Clients describe my approach as practical and down-to-earth. I will inspire you to make the changes you are craving. You might feel better; or at least have a better understanding of what it would take to feel better.
