Aloha!

I'm Donna, a native of of Oahu, Hawaii and sinced moved to Colorado in 2017. I attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa for my BA in Psychology and Chaminade University for my Masters. I have interned at varying school sites, working with kids from 3-18 years old. I have also worked with individuals across the lifespan. I have especially appreciated and developed a passion for working with underserved communities and varying ethnicities.

I keep an open mind when starting with clients, as seeking help is an important and courageous first step. My background is in acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral and solution focused counseling. I collaborate with clients, building momentum in creating attainable goals, and gearing up toward more challenging goals simultaneously. I help clients create new, strength-based habits for a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

Clients can expect a safe-unbiased space, empathetic listening, validation, thought reflection and possible reframing, and concrete tools/ resources to take home/ work on outside of session.
