I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC). I earned my graduate degree at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. I have a background in substance use treatment, harm reduction, crisis services, and behavioral/mental health. My approach is supportive, nonjudgmental, and focused on meeting people where they are.
I work in a supportive, nonjudgmental way, meeting you where you are and moving at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is grounded in harm reduction, practical tools, and real-life support, with an emphasis on collaboration, safety, and respect. You don’t have to come with a plan to change or a problem to fix—this is simply a space where you can talk, reflect, and be heard. Whether you’re navigating something difficult or just need a safe place to land, the goal is to create room for your voice, your pace, and your process.
People I work with can expect a welcoming, low-pressure first session focused on getting to know each other and understanding what brings them in. We’ll talk about goals at your pace and make sure the space feels safe, respectful, and collaborative.
