I grew up in a small town in Hawaii, then came to Southern California and began studying psychology in 2001. I completed my master’s degree at Fuller School of Psychology in 2010 and served children and families at a community mental health agency for 10 years, also starting a private practice in 2015. While I loved island life, I’ve put down roots here through friendships, involvement in my community, and my love of LA’s cultural diversity.

Find the right counselor for your family
Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Long Beach
Finding family therapists in Long Beach starts with looking for support that fits what your family is working through. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not only one person. As you compare Long Beach therapists, look for training or listed specialties that match your needs, such as family systems therapy, structural family therapy, parent coaching, or support for teens and young adults.
Long Beach has a range of therapy options across neighborhoods and nearby communities, so practical fit matters as much as clinical focus. Some families prefer an office that works with school, work, or caregiving schedules, while others choose virtual appointments to make it easier for more family members to attend. Session structure can also vary — some visits may include the full family, while others may include parents, siblings, or individual family members. Before booking, read therapist bios to see how each therapist describes their approach, session structure, availability, and experience with families.
Therapy in Long Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for family therapy in Long Beach, review therapists who are accepting new patients, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can compare bios, choose between in-person and virtual care, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
