Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Hawaii

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.

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.

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.
