Constant stress, Hypervigilance, and anxiety can leave anyone feeling stuck in 'survival mode', making it difficult to stay fully present in daily life.

Navigating trauma, life transitions, and complex stressors is exhausting, especially for those accustomed to being the rock for others. Whether facing the everyday pressures of life in the islands or carrying the weight of service to country or community, having a safe, non-judgmental space to pause, drop armor, and share a story is vital to lasting wellness.

Healing is a collaborative journey—one where your unique story, values, and inherent strengths guide the process.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) holding a Master of Social Work, years have been spent on the front lines of crisis intervention. Bringing a calm, patient, and culturally grounded presence as a Pacific Islander and veteran with a deep crisis background, the goal is to walk side by side with people working through life’s toughest seasons.

My practice is rooted in a blend of clinical evidence and cultural understanding. My approach is trauma-focused care with CBT, walking with others to move past ‘survival mode' so that they can be present in their life today.

Our first session is about connection. You won't be pushed to share your deepest traumas right away. Instead, we can focus on building a foundation of trust and safety. Think of this as a 'meet-and-greet'. We will spend our time discussing: Your story, Identifying any 'right now' stressors, and the roadmap of what you would like your life to look like.
