Therapist

Virtual • Hawaii


I currently accept individual adult clients only through Headway. I do not provide couples or family therapy through this platform at this time.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and LGBTQ+ clients seeking deeper self-understanding, emotional healing, and more connected relationships. My approach is warm, relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that healing happens through safety, honesty, and meaningful connection.

I specialize in relationship therapy, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, attachment wounds, complex trauma, and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. I also support clients navigating life transitions, grief, shame, self-worth, communication challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves and others.

My work draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, somatic awareness, humanistic and existential therapy, and trauma-informed care. I help clients slow down, listen inward, understand their patterns, and develop more compassionate and empowered ways of relating.

As a queer-affirming therapist, I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ clients and relationships. I strive to create a space where clients can bring their full selves—without judgment—and explore healing in a way that honors their identities, histories, relationships, spirituality, and lived experience.

Aloha! As a clinician with over 18 years of experience, my passion is working with children and families. Healthy families are the core unit of our society and can break negative patterns for ourselves and future generations, and I believe that early intervention can dramatically change the trajectory of a young person’s life. I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives by providing the professional guidance needed to navigate behavioral challenges, identity struggles, and family transitions.

I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during their time with me, knowing they have an experienced advocate committed to their success. My background as a UCLA graduate has allowed me to serve families across various life stages, from young children to adults navigating relationship hurdles. When I am not in the office, I find peace and restoration in the natural beauty of the islands, which keeps me grounded in my work.

Many people move through life feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to care for

themselves while caring for everyone else. You might be wondering why life doesn’t feel better

or why you keep putting your own needs last. These experiences are more common than most

people realize, and they can take a real toll on your mind and body.

As someone with lived experience, I understand how challenging it can be to navigate

relationships, identity, stress, and the expectations placed on us. My approach to therapy is

integrative and person‐centered, grounded in your needs, preferences, and cultural worldview. I

believe therapy should feel like a space where you can breathe, reflect, and reconnect with

yourself.

Whether online or in person, I work to create a supportive environment where you can explore

concerns related to relationships, gender, trauma, grief, identity, and life transitions. My goal is to

help you cultivate greater clarity, resilience, and overall wellness because living a better life

shouldn’t feel out of reach.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Hawaii

Searching for therapists in Hawaii starts with finding someone whose training and focus match what you want support with. Needs and available therapists can vary across urban and rural parts of the state, so it helps to look beyond location alone. You may want care for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care.

Your search may look different in Honolulu, Hilo, Kahului, or other communities across the islands. Some people prefer in-person therapy close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. To narrow your options, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, their appointment availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience before you book.

The cost of therapy in Hawaii varies, and care can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
