I am a Marriage and Family Therapist in Hawaii and Iowa. I work with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, anger, life transitions, self esteem issues, and maternal mental health. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based to help client's gain self-awareness, develop effective coping skills, improve relationships, and make lasting changes.
My collaborative, client-centered approach helps individuals build on their strengths and create meaningful change. I tailor therapy to each client's needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment Biobehavioral Catch-Up (ABC), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing. Together, we will identify patterns that no longer serve you, build new skills, and develop strategies to empower and create meaningful change.
During our first session together, you can expect a warm, welcoming space for you to share your story, your concerns, and your strengths. My aim is that you leave the first session with greater clarity and a sense of direction moving forward.
