Born and raised in Hawai`i I carry a lens that acknowledges the challenges we face, often specific to holding and honoring our place here in Hawai`i. As a kanaka, wahine, and makua I embrace the various roles we all play in our lives. Many of us carry the weight of our `ohana and are seeking support from someone "who gets it." With 17 years counseling experience here in Hawai`i and on the continent, I have worked across our communities in non-profit, government/judicial, and education (both DOE and university level). I have supported a variety of age groups including teens, adults, and our kupuna. I carry deep gratitude and aloha for our community people who make up our patchwork quilt here in Hawai`i.

Depression and anxiety can be logical responses to difficult life events. Many adults who experienced losses and traumas in childhood have never processed these events and continue to suffer their impacts.

Aloha, my name is Celeste Leonani Sagarang. I am passionate about helping those who have been through abuse, trauma and loss. When storms of life hit, it can leave us feeling stressed, anxious and depressed. Even after the crisis and challenge passes, it takes time to heal and learn to breathe again. In Hawaiian, Kealohahou, means to renew ones Ha or breath, without breath we cannot live.
