Great to meet you!

Aloha! Life can be a wonderful, surprising, and challenging journey. We all need many hands, ears, and minds to lean on along the way, including me! I have spent the last 20 years supporting kids, teens, and adults throughout the various stages and events that life brings.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I have worked with individuals, athletes, and professionals, of all ages, spectrums, and including those with learning differences on a variety of challenges that effect both the mind and the body.

My approach to therapy

I use my both my trainings as an LCSW and BCBA as well as my work in performance psychology to help people solve, navigate, process, and perform. Whether its sifting through complex feelings, trying to balance life, tackle the jungle of highschool, or hit your peak performance. I will help you recognize the strengths that you already possess and develop various skills and strategies to help you feel prepared for whatever is thrown your way.

What you can expect from me

You can expect me to meet where you are at. I will listen to what your current needs or concerns are and work together to identify your short term and long term goals. We will work on specific skills and strategies what will help you gain confidence and progress towards these goals.
