Great to meet you!

Aloha! I’m Koalani, a virtual therapist serving adults throughout California. I support those who look like they "have it all together" while internally navigating the invisible load of motherhood and high-functioning anxiety.

My Background:

  • 14 years of clinical experience, including military families and a leading pediatric hospital.
  • Specialties: Perinatal mental health, birth trauma, and chronic overthinking.
  • Credentials: USD Alumna, EMDR-trained, and Certified Infant Massage Instructor.

I provide an expert-led space where you can finally stop "performing" and start feeling grounded again.

My approach to therapy

My approach is slow-paced, warm, and practical. We move beyond "just talking" by integrating:

  • EMDR & Somatic Practices: To calm the body as much as the mind.
  • ACT & Mindfulness: To interrupt anxious thought loops and "shoulds."

My goal is to help you replace perfectionism with internal steadying and values-based clarity. Our sessions are designed to feel both clinically deep and genuinely supportive.

What you can expect from me

Expect a dedicated, grounded space to be heard without judgment or rush. We’ll "slow down the noise" to identify exactly where you feel most stuck and create a practical path forward.

A few notes for our sessions:

  • Virtual Ease: We meet via a secure, one-click HIPAA-compliant video link—no complex software or account setup required.
  • Parent-Friendly: Since my work focuses on supporting you as the adult, your little ones and breastfeeding infants are always welcome to join us in our virtual space.

You’ll leave our first meeting with a concrete plan and a sense of relief, knowing you no longer have to hold the "invisible load" alone.
