In addition to being a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I use EMDR, Brainspotting & Somatic Experiencing, methods ideally suited to release the stress, anxiety, trauma and overwhelm trapped in one's mind and body.
When it comes to making meaningful life changes, there are things that work and things that don't. If you feel like you've tried everything - or are desperate to try something new and don't know where to start - I can help. If you or a loved one are facing challenges at work, school, in relationships, with health, or simply feel overwhelmed and exhausted by the demands of daily living, there is help available. If you are looking for solutions that work, you've come to the right place. I use evidence-based techniques for real, rapid, observable change.

Some circumstances in life can be so stressful, painful, confusing and scary that they are overwhelming and difficult to experience alone and the unique relationship of a client and therapist is like no other in that my sole purpose as a therapist is to help you determine what you need for healing and wellness.

Maybe you've experienced trauma, abuse, grief, stress or transitions that continue to cause you pain or interfere with moving forward and experiencing the life you want. Let me offer you a safe, objective and trusting environment to explore your concerns. My specialty is helping those understand and adapt to life circumstances or issues and create the change, acceptance or healing they desire.

I want to invite you to grow and heal from the stress of life by coming to a safe place to learn ways to overcome adversity.
Counseling can be a safe place to explore feelings and thoughts that are stressing you out. In this world there are obstacles and challenges that slow us down and can make it seem like you are alone in your struggles. You are not alone, I love to meet with people who desire to overcome mental illness, trauma, and relationship stress. With counseling we can explore ways to heal and grow. I work with adults, kids, teens, and families to help address life's bumps and bruises. Not currently accepting couples.

I have over 25 years of experience working with people from different backgrounds, ages, orientations and with a wide array of issues including anxiety, depression, addictions, relational problems, stress, grief and loss, issues with self-esteem, purpose and health.
I am passionate about assisting people in clearing challenges and obstacles in order to allow growth and transformation to take place on physical, emotional, cognitive, relational, energetic and spiritual levels. I provide a safe space with compassionate presence where you can be authentically you, discover what is keeping you from moving forward and how to create health, balance and peace. I know from my own life challenges and illnesses how obstacles and losses in our lives can bring growth and transformation when we get support. After surviving two cancers I wrote the book “The Little Book of Hope” to spread seeds of Hope.

In addition to individual face-to-face counseling I use Art Therapy and other mind/body expressive techniques to enable you to move past the limitations of "talk therapy" to reduce anxiety and stress.
UNFORTUNATELY I AM NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. Anyone can have a time in their life when they may need to speak with someone to help them get some clarity or another perspective. First we need to see where you are in that process and together develop a plan to help you learn the skills you need to improve your daily functioning, improve your relationship with yourself and others, improve your ability to self-sooth and self-regulate, increase your ability to "bounce back" from difficulties and/or increase your sense of connection and self-worth. Relationships are rewarding and hard work. I often work with couples/families.

Hello! When life throws obstacles and challenges your way and you are experiencing more misery than peace and joy, it may be time to seek support from a mental health clinician. The issue may be current (i.e., financial, marital, career problems) or stem from the past (previous traumas and abuse). Depression, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, work stress, and life transitions are only a few of the many areas I have worked with extensively. I offer a gentle, solution-oriented approach to therapy. I use an array of interventions that would best fit your needs. See www.drcantorna.com.

Change is all around us lately. Are you simply surviving and searching for ways to thrive? Sometimes we have the tools and other times we need someone to inspire, create, motivate or teach us what it takes to thrive. I have worked on Maui, Molokai, and Lanai for the past 23 years.

We all have times in our lives that carry burden, darkness and pain. We can be held back by fears, limiting beliefs and attempted distractions that over time have lost their luster, and ultimately impact the quality of our connection to ourselves and others. It is often the bravest thing we can do to take a stand and be willing to own our story. A collaborative therapeutic setting creates a safe and nonjudmental space to harness curiosity, empathy, awareness, and a more integrated connection to the Self, thus opening new pathways to personal healing and growth. I consider it a privilege to be a support to you in this journey.

As a mindfulness-based psychotherapist, I have come to deeply appreciate the profound connection between nature, meditation, reflection, and rest in the therapeutic process. Nature, with its inherent rhythms and beauty, provides a grounding backdrop for healing and self-discovery. This appreciation is not merely a theoretical concept; it is an experiential practice that I integrate into my work with individuals seeking to foster deeper awareness and well-being. At the heart of mindfulness therapy is the understanding that nature acts as a facilitator for mental clarity and emotional balance.
