I am Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Hawai’i who is deeply committed to helping our local island community. Born and raised on Oahu, I hold deep appreciation for Hawaii’s unique history, culture, and values. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is grounding, calm, and welcoming of people of any race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, class, ability, language or cultural background. I embrace a trauma-informed and multicultural therapeutic approach that is compassionate and non-pathologizing. I believe that human connection, curiosity, exploration, collaboration, and creative problem solving are integral to the healing process. In psychotherapy, I integrate evidence-based strategies supported by research on mind-body connection, somatic processing, attachment, parts of self, and brain-based practices. I am trained in Brainspotting and Somatic Embodiment & Regulation Strategies to help my clients recover from trauma and adverse lived experiences (individual, collective, and historical) and release the tension of survival response patterns stored in their bodies. I am currently accepting new clients for individual, couples, and family therapy. I offer a complimentary 10-minute phone consultation to discuss your goals and expectations for therapy, ask questions, learn more about the services I provide, and see if we are a good therapeutic fit. Please call or text (808) 829-1851 to schedule a consultation. I accept HMSA (all plans), BCBS (BlueCard), HMAA, UHA, TRICARE, and Medicaid insurances. Out-of-pocket payment options are also available. MEDICAL DISCLAIMER
