About

Welcome! It takes vulnerability to participate in therapy, and finding the right fit in a therapist is a key ingredient to making it work. Developing a warm and trusting relationship is my first priority. I seek to provide a non-judgmental, client-centered environment to explore patterns, process past traumas, and develop the skills needed to promote healing and self-growth. Natural resiliency will be tapped into by building self-compassion, self-awareness, and confidence using a strengths-based approach. I am a strong believer in the mind-body connection, and encourage well-rounded approaches to taking care of your overall well being.

Being a child of Hawaii, culturally-sensitive practice is important to me. We come from unique backgrounds, and all perspectives are valued. I received my higher education in California, gaining my post-graduate hours in San Diego before returning home to Hawaii. I am currently a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Hawaii. My clinical experience has been acquired in a variety of settings, including outpatient, day treatment, and school settings in both therapist and supervisory roles.

If my therapeutic approach suits your needs, I hope to provide you with support and empowerment in this experience.
