I am warm, genuine, a Mixed Asian/Native Hawaiian, married, a mother, grandmother, and a doctoral level therapist trained to work with various behavioral health problems. I have worked with the chronically ill and substance dependent. I provide brief therapies, cognitive behavioral treatment, and trauma-based interventions.
I focus on welcoming patients and helping them feel comfortable to talk about their concerns and the areas of life most important to them. I meet my clients where they are and essentially walk with them in exploring their fears and the barriers they face. In my sessions, I provide psychoeducation and take into account their strengths and weakness as well as other factors to improve their overall behavioral health and gain the confidence to meet their personal goals.
I want to put you at ease and answer any questions you might have about therapy and mental health. I am a patient and attentive listener, with an open mind and non-judgmental approach.
