I help adults, veterans, and select adolescents across Hawaiʻi find stability, clarity, and a real path forward without judgment, pressure, or pretense. My style is steady, grounded, and practical, with a focus on meaningful change that holds up outside the therapy room.

I also work closely with older adolescents navigating trauma, anxiety, and substance use. Earlier in my career, I spent three years as a Teen Care Counselor at Hina Mauka and provided school‐based counseling at Radford High School, supporting students facing substance use challenges and co‐occurring mental health concerns. That experience still shapes the calm, direct, and supportive way I work with teens today.

As a Christian since 2012, my faith shapes the humility, steadiness, and compassion I bring to therapy. I never introduce spiritual themes unless clients request it, but when they do, I integrate CBT with faith‐aligned meaning‐making, where reframing thoughts and emotional responses fits naturally. I’m an independently licensed LMHC and CSAC in the State of Hawaiʻi. Through Headway I offer therapy to clients who prefer to use their in‐network insurance while still receiving grounded, collaborative, evidence‐based care. If you feel we may be a good fit, you’re welcome to reach out to get started.

Clients can expect a calm, structured, and genuinely collaborative first session. I focus on creating safety from the moment they walk in - especially for clients coming in after a poor fit elsewhere. I move at their pace, attuned to trauma history, identity, family dynamics, and the emotional load they’re carrying. The session blends gentle assessment with real conversation: exploring what’s been hard, what’s been helping, and what they hope will feel different. I highlight strengths early, reflect patterns with care, and help clients feel seen rather than scrutinized. By the end of the session, clients leave with a clearer sense of what’s driving their struggles, a practical plan for next steps, and the reassurance that therapy will be a grounded, collaborative process rather than something done to them.
