Aloha and welcome! I look forward to working together to develop an approach to your challenges and your growth that is unique to you and embedded in cultural humility. I have experience and training in a wide range of approaches including IFS, CBT, trauma focused therapies, and many others. I have worked at numerous agencies on Oahu including the VA, Kaiser Permanente, Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center, and the Sex Abuse Treatment Center (part of Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children). I will collaborate with you to customize therapy for you and how you work. As part of your therapy, you may want to learn or strengthen practices, such as mindfulness meditation, moving forms of meditation (e.g. qigong), breath work and relaxation. These practices help with self regulation, decrease inflammation, improve the immune system, manage stress, and support healing. They can also help you build and strengthen wellness in your life. Even thinking about therapy for some is a big step, and making the initial contact can also be a big moment for many. This is common. We can get started with a free phone consultation. You can reach me at this confidential number 808.400.5874, and we can discuss what your hopes are for therapy and answer your questions. I look forward to talking with you!
