Great to meet you!

My name is Tami and I am a LCSW in HI, AK, VA, and NV.I live on the island of Molokai and am so grateful to be fishing as much as possible. The ocean is my heaven and I absolutely love feeling the sand between my toes and the fresh ocean water on my skin. I love my two sons, but I love my poodle, Honey Pa'ele , even more. I love providing services using a trauma informed approach along with solution focused therapy. I have a strong background in domestic violence, substance abuse and I support my clients with a trauma informed approach. My goal is for everyone to be their best selves, continuing to grow as change is inevitable.

My approach to therapy

I look forward to focusing on solutions, seeing where your resources and supports are to increase positivity in your life.

What you can expect from me

I will meet you where you are at and work with you to create the best version of your self.
