Client-focused, not one-size fits all. It's all about relationships. I'm here to listen and perhaps gently guide. I use psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and Gottman technique with couples.
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.
I have worked in the mental health field for over 15 years and have been a licensed mental health counselor and Doctor of Clinical Psychology for 12 years. Additionally, I have collaborated with clients of all ages, cultures, Nationalities and from all social classes dealing with a wide range of issues. My experience is vast as I have worked with the following: neuro-psychiatric, suicidal ideation/attempts, LGBTQIA, PTSD, anger management, grief/loss, trauma, abuse, relationship issues, school counseling, juvenile justice, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, personality disorders, domestic violence, crisis intervention, codependency, and group/family/individual therapy.
Hi. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. These are challenging times and I would love to be of support in helping you cope with anxiety, stress management, and life transitions. Building a trusting and supportive relationship is a primary component of my therapeutic practice and can be done using Tele Health video sessions from home. When making life decisions regarding how to best move forward, it can be extremely helpful to get an impartial, outside perspective. I have over four decades of experience in working with individuals, couples, and families and am accepting new clients at this time.
Board certified in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry, I bring years of experience helping people manage ADHD, anxiety, and depression across all ages.

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.
I have over 30 years of clinical, counseling and administrative experience working with individuals and couples, addressing the unique issues related to their unique life experiences. I have extensive professional and personal experience with military families and veterans. I understand first-hand the struggles of grief and medical conditions that impact all aspects of life. I have supported chronically and terminally ill patients, individuals living with cancer or chronic medical diagnoses, as well as parents experiencing infertility, peripartum, and postpartum depression. Whether dealing with life transitions, parenting, depression, anxiety, or divorce, or simply seeking to express yourself and feel more confident, I am here to walk with you, provide insights, and support you toward lasting change.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm glad you're here. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping adults and teens navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, life transitions, and chronic stress. I believe healing happens when we care for the whole person, not just the symptoms. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and, most importantly, empowered to create meaningful change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Honolulu
Searching for therapists in Honolulu starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or trauma. As you compare Honolulu therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what sessions may feel like.
In Honolulu, location and format can play a major role in finding a therapist who fits your routine. You may prefer an office near Waikiki, Manoa, downtown Honolulu, or another part of Oahu, or you may want the flexibility of virtual therapy from home. It can also help to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading each therapist’s profile gives you a clearer sense of their communication style, session structure, and experience with the concerns you want to address.
Therapy in Honolulu can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to compare therapists in Honolulu, review bios, and find care that matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
