Starting your counseling journey can be a very intimidating process; however, a primary goal of mine is to create a space of safety and comfort as you take a step towards personal growth.

Life is full of surprises and often we are caught off guard. "I am not sure what else I can do", "Am I doing the right thing"," I just can't seem to get over my problem", "I wish I had someone to help me with my racing thoughts", " I want to be social but I am scared and need help". Does any of these statements resonate with you? Even successful people can have unresolved struggles. Depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and disturbing life experiences can block our happiness. I help my clients move beyond their stumbling blocks.

Whether you are struggling with Grief, Depression, Anxiety, or normal life changes, we could all use a compass to navigate our way. It would be my honor to be that part of your journey and together overcome the difficulties that life can present. To achieve this, I believe that therapy works best when it is tailored to the personality and the individual needs of each client. Rather than relying on just one modality of psychotherapy,

Life can be hard. Everyday obstacles, change, and hardships can leave you feeling overwhelmed and helpless. The life coaching relationship allows for meaningful conversation that can support you as you navigate all of life’s challenges. Having the courage to navigate through feelings and learning what makes us who we are is transformational. Here are a few of the benefits you may experience from life coaching: improved quality of life, decreased depressive and anxiety symptoms, improved interpersonal relationships, and improvement in emotional self-regulation. I am trained in Brainspotting, CBT, DBT, EFT, and Gottman Level 1 & 2.

Depressed, moody, anxious and troubled more often than not these days, your work and relationships are suffering in the background as you try to "get a grip". From sad and tired to anxious, agitated or even angry... the emotions are exhausting. At this point, simply feeling content feels far away. Something needs to change and I can help. Often we forget that anxiety and depression are companions to things like crisis, change, grief, loneliness, conflict and many other conditions. Struggling to cope with what is in front of you right now, while also managing your anxiety or get a handle on your depressed mood might feel impossible.

I was born and raised on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. This is where I developed a deep appreciation for diverse cultures with Hawaii being the melting pot for cultures. My passion lies in working with teens/adolescents and young adults, helping them to navigate the challenges of growing up in today's face-paced world. As someone who has been working with this teens/adolescents and young adults for over 9 years, I possess a unique gift of being able to connect with this population on multiple levels. I believe that being able to relate and connect with the client is by far the most valuable gift a therapist can possess.

You want to appear confident, but deep down you worry what others think and criticize yourself. The desire to be perfect in every aspect of life makes you want to give up. The countless hours you spend rechecking your work, overanalyzing social interactions, and trying to make others happy is exhausting. Nobody can see or understand the mental gymnastics you are doing every...single...day. It’s been hard to find happiness in the little things and you constantly feel distracted by the thoughts in your head. Is this how life is supposed to be? You know this isn’t working and even know you need a change. But what and how? Let me help!

Anxiety is always around you. You've been told that you're "Too sensitive" and "Too much." You feel misunderstood & tired. Where do you fit in? Yet you're the one everyone goes to for help. But you struggle to ask for support or be your full self with others. You're lonely & anxious. You push the trauma deep down. On the outside you have a great career, you look good, but you don't know how to stop people pleasing and perfectionism. You've prayed, read books and journaled, but you're feeling desperate. You have too much on your plate. You need long-lasting change NOW.

Hi there. I'm so glad you're here! Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it's a courageous one. It shows a willingness to confront challenges and prioritize your well-being. It's perfectly normal to feel a mix of emotions as you begin this journey, but know that you're not alone. Therapy offers a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with someone who is trained to support you without judgment. I'm here to help in any way I can as you embark on this path towards healing and growth.

Feeling anxious or depressed is often the result of chronic stress, unresolved trauma or grief. I work with adults who struggle with intense emotions or have coped through numbing them. Some suffer from physical discomfort or chronic pain, while others struggle in their relationships, or engage in behaviors that both soothe and hurt them. If that resonates with you, I would love to offer you my attention and guiding skills to help you explore and make sense of your inner experiences in order to heal wounds and access more calm, clarity, confidence, compassion, and connection with yourself and others, so that you may feel more alive!

My passion is helping adults (ages 25+ of all backgrounds) get passed traumas - whether those traumas occurred in childhood, military, or a specific event. Imagine a life where your past wounds don’t haunt you anymore, you are happier every day, you believe in yourself, and you create and achieve your biggest dreams. My job is to help unburden you from your past wounds. Through our trusting and collaborative relationship, I can help you live your best life!

Do you notice yourself trying to please others or find yourself in unhealthy and destructive relationships and/or work patterns? Do you depend on your partner's happiness to feel ok? Do you think your childhood is impacting the way you relate to others today? Do you notice toxic people showing up in your life and an inability to say no when your boundaries are violated? The good news is that you are noticing these things. That awareness is the stepping off point towards evolving and shedding the layers of who you are NOT, in order to return home to the essence of who you truly are.

Something's off. Maybe, who you are right now doesn't fit the picture of who you want to be. It may be behaviors that interrupt your relationships, previous overwhelming experiences that haunt you, or unhealthy ways of coping that you are dealing with, alone. You're looking for someone help you identify your unique, innate strengths as well as help guide you to the resources and tools you may need, while feeling safe and seen.

I am a Licensed MFT who supports adults, couples, parents, and groups of friends invested in personal growth, developing stronger interpersonal relationships, and healing from trauma. I support clients who are very excited by new projects but can’t get their life organized, are hard on themselves and and have a strong inner critic, never feel happy or satisfied with their accomplishments, struggle to say no to others and REALLY dislike conflict, are stuck in cycles of conflict in relationships, spend hours engaging in rituals to try to soothe fears/anxieties, and those who desperately want to parent differently but don't know how.
