Aloha!  I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover their inherent resilience. Deciding to seek therapy is a courageous first step, and my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where you feel truly heard and understood.

My journey into the mental health field began with a deep curiosity about human connection and a passion for helping people find strength during difficult times. Over my years of clinical experience in various settings, including community mental health centers and private practice, I have had the privilege of working with diverse clients facing a wide range of concerns. This work has reinforced my belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and lasting, positive change.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and self-doubt. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful thought patterns, or struggling to build self-esteem. In our work together, we focus on identifying pain points and addressing internal conflicts causing them. I will work with you collaboratively to cultivate self-compassion, emotional balance, greater inner harmony, and improved self management.

My approach is integrative and person-centered, primarily drawing from evidence-based techniques such as Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Hypnotherapy, and other mindfulness and attachment-based therapies. I will tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. I will also help you focus on building practical tools that help you feel more in control of your life. You can expect me to be an empathetic partner in your journey, offering both support and practical guidance.
