I began my career in residential therapy in 2012, working with adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, low motivation, substance use, technology overuse, and anger or impulse-control difficulties. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Hawaiʻi. Today, I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, relationships, stress, life transitions, and behavior change.
I believe our thoughts, choices, habits, and relationships can either add to our struggles or help us move forward. Therapy can help you slow down, understand those patterns, and decide what you want to do differently. I’m not here to tell you how to live your life. I want to help you figure out what matters to you, what may be getting in the way, and how to make realistic changes that move you toward the life you want.
The first session usually involves more structured information gathering so I can understand your background, current concerns, and goals, while making sure we’re on the same page about what to expect from therapy. After that, sessions can be flexible based on what you need. I have an extensive toolkit if you want practical skills and tangible things to work on, but I’m also happy to listen when you need space to process. I like setting small, achievable goals so you can see yourself making progress. My hope is that you feel both challenged and supported.
