About

Much aloha and peace to you! As a Christian oriented counselor and therapist, I am curious about your hopes, your dreams, and how you can be successful in reaching these goals. I believe that your very nature is crafted and formed in the image of God and you are precious in His sight. This is the only way I see you! I would like to work with you using this as a foundational starting point for us . . . "that you are very precious in God's sisght and that He loves you incredibly, more than you can even imagine." In Hawaii, we appreciate the concept of “Ohana,” meaning “family,” people bound together by support, loyalty, and love for one another, which means "you belong," and you are never alone! Nurtured and fostered in this spirit of Aloha (love) and Ohana, I am committed to serve in this profession of counseling and therapy knowing that everyone has a life-purpose. Please remember, you are so very vital and so very important and you need to realize and claim this gift of life! Reaching out and trying to find a therapist can be one of the hardest things to do especially when you are in the midst of chaos and going through crisis. Once you take that first step however, it will get easier and will get even more progressively easier. Feeling like someone is actually listening to you and focusing on you is so very important, especially nowadays in our fast-paced lifestyles! As a therapist, I focus on each person’s specific needs and I will adjust my therapy style accordingly, drawing from and utilizing various skill modalities that I think will be helpful. I tend to draw from a Solution-Focused, Positive Psychology, Strengths-based, Cognitive Behavioral, Life-Coaching, and Meaning Centered Therapy areas in order to help people resolve their situations and life-transitions. Together we will focus on things going on currently and also in the past. This has worked well for my clients and overall outcomes have been very positive.
