Through thick and thin the longest relationship you will have is with yourself, yet so often we give so much to others and forget to give to ourselves. We may not realize this until life piles up and feels hard to carry on our own. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, confused, or like it's time to put yourself first, now is the time. Therapy can be a place to deeper understand your experiences, foster your relationship with yourself, and heal. Together we can identify what you're experiencing, process historical and current contexts, and move through it to a place of healing. I specialize in working with college students, Indigenous peoples, identity development, cultural healing, relationships, transitions, intersectionality, stress, and meaning making/existentialism. I utilize relational and cultural frameworks to provide individually tailored treatment with a variety of different modalities to meet each person’s unique needs. As a Native Hawaiian, my therapeutic practice aims to recenter and reindigenize mental health/well-being through authentic connection, decreasing stigma, and increasing your trust within yourself and deeper ways of knowing. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can work together on your healing journey so you can lead the authentic life you want.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Together, we’ll explore your emotions with curiosity and compassion—identifying patterns, uncovering strengths, and working toward greater self-understanding and lasting change. I integrate relational, feminist, and emotion-focused perspectives, recognizing how early experiences, cultural narratives, and systemic factors shape our sense of self and relationships. Many of the struggles we face stem from disconnection—from ourselves, from others, or from the world around us. In our work together, I aim to help you reconnect with your emotions as valuable sources of information and guide you toward a deeper sense of agency and authenticity. My priority is to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe that healing happens through connection—the relationship we build becomes the foundation for growth. I bring empathy, openness, and cultural humility to each session, meeting you where you are and walking alongside you as you move toward the life you want to create. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you determine if I’m the right fit for your needs.

Are you an overthinker? Do your emotions interfere with your relationships? Our human brains are fascinating in what they allow us to accomplish, but sometimes they can be our own worst enemy! Sometimes overwhelming emotions and unhelpful thoughts interfere with our lives and cause significant distress. I created my practice to help people "be okay when things are not okay." This is done using a person-centered dialectical-behavior therapy (DBT) approach to help you gain insight into yourself while providing you with the tools and encouragement to thrive instead of just survive. I want you to leave each session feeling validated and more confident in your ability to cope with life on life's terms! I also specialize in treating complex PTSD and am trained in EMDR.

My ideal client knows their concerns and is willing to work alongside me finding solutions that work for them with the ultimate goal of improving their overall quality of life. I have worked using a wide range of modalities, but find myself frequently utilizing CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. With that said, I have a strong creative writing background, and feel that writing through experiences can help provide a sense of empowerment and insight. I also was raised by a group of yogis, who taught me of the mind-body connection and the many benefits of incorporating mindfulness practices into one's daily life. In terms of my formal training, I have worked in the social work and mental health fields since 2008, and have extensive experience working with all manner of demographics and diagnoses. I am a strong proponent of examining one's self-talk, as well as examining the ties shared among the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, and aim to support clients in finding balance and fulfillment in all four areas. I also feel that therapy is about maximizing one's quality of life, and not merely about fixing one's problems. If your ideal life differs from from your current experience, I would like to help you explore how you can close the gap between the two.

I'm passionate about serving those who are struggling with low self-confidence, anxiety, trauma, and grief and loss. I understand the impact this can have on the personal and professional life.

I can imagine that your journey has been a challenging one. Reaching out for help is no small feat. Most likely, it took a lot of courage for you to arrive here. It requires bravery to open up to someone and be vulnerable. I get it. To say, “I need help,” is a tremendously vulnerable act. I am here to make that process as seamless as possible. The more each of us reaches out for help, the more we normalize helping each other. Welcome! Just as no two people are exactly alike, neither is their process in therapy. In each therapeutic relationship we settle into an approach that feels appropriate, remaining open to changes throughout the treatment. An integral part of my work is to help individuals overcome trauma (relational and physical) along with the limiting beliefs that go along with those experiences. I understand that you may feel that the word “trauma” may not apply to you. However, I have found that most people who struggle have had life experiences that they consider insignificant; Those same experiences end up being key in moving forward with their healing. We tend to have experiences that lead to unhelpful patterns which lock us into feeling unloved, hurt, misunderstood, helpless and unvalued as well as a myriad of other feelings. Together we will unveil those experiences and move through a somatic, body/mind integration in order to feel physically different in the present. In order to reach these permanent changes, we have sessions on a weekly basis. Typically treatment lasts from one to one and a half years. I have extensive training in EMDR, mindfulness and meditation, Attachment-Focused Therapy, psychodynamic theory, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I specialize in working with young adults (ages 20 to early 30s) who struggle with PTSD/trauma, depression, anxiety, major life transitions, identity issues, loss/grief, and individuals that want to experience more self-growth. I aim to help people find their own authentic path towards understanding, compassion, and meaning in life through a relationally grounded approach. In addition to my formal clinical masters-level training in psychotherapy from Smith College for Social Work, I have over 15 years of training in behavioral learning theory that is grounded in my prior work as a teacher and parent educator. What that means for you is that we have a variety of means to address what is happening for you so that your treatment is as individualized as possible. In addition, I have a Master of the Arts degree in Bilingual and Diverse Education. I am actively working to be anti-racist, and strive to implement practices that decolonize the therapeutic process and move away from pathologizing peoples’ experiences.
