Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Honolulu, HI

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a graduate of Frontier Nursing University, with over 11 years of nursing experience and one year of advanced clinical training across outpatient psychiatry, crisis stabilization, inpatient detoxification, skilled nursing facilities, and telehealth. I provide evidence-based psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar and mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, substance use disorders, and psychotic disorders, including complex and co-occurring presentations. My clinical background includes crisis intervention, suicide risk assessment, stabilization, and long-term outpatient care focused on functional improvement and sustained recovery.

I have over 15 years of experience supporting children, teens, and families across school, residential, and community settings. I’m licensed in California and Hawaii, with training in trauma-informed care, DBT, and grief support.

Born and raised in Hawai`i I carry a lens that acknowledges the challenges we face, often specific to holding and honoring our place here in Hawai`i. As a kanaka, wahine, and makua I embrace the various roles we all play in our lives. Many of us carry the weight of our `ohana and are seeking support from someone "who gets it." With 17 years counseling experience here in Hawai`i and on the continent, I have worked across our communities in non-profit, government/judicial, and education (both DOE and university level). I have supported a variety of age groups including teens, adults, and our kupuna. I carry deep gratitude and aloha for our community people who make up our patchwork quilt here in Hawai`i.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and finding the right therapist matters. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

My communication style is non-judgmental, authentic, and grounded in honesty and empathy. I prefer to incorporate the whole person (including, for instance, work/life balance, childhood experiences, physical well-being and future goals).

My approach to mental health care centers entirely around you. True healing happens when trust, safety, and collaboration come together. Whether you are navigating severe depression, managing long-term anxiety, or recovering from trauma, my goal is to provide a premium, supportive environment where you feel heard and empowered to reclaim a stable, fulfilling life.

As a board-certified adult psychiatrist, I bring unique depth to my clinical practice. I earned both my MD and PhD from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, grounding my approach to medication management in advanced scientific research and evidence-based medicine.

My leadership and clinical training within the University of Texas Health System—including roles as Chief Resident, Assistant Medical Director, and Assistant Professor—deeply shaped my view of mental health. Having cared for individuals across institutions like MD Anderson, Memorial Hermann, the Dunn Behavioral Sciences Center, and Maui Memorial Medical Center, I possess the outpatient and inpatient expertise required to manage complex clinical cases with complete confidence.

I provide convenient, high-quality telepsychiatry and virtual care for adults (ages 18 and older) actively located in Texas, California, Hawaii, and Alaska.

Primary Clinical Focus Areas:

• Mood Disorders: Advanced care for major depression, treatment-resistant depression, and bipolar disorder.
• Anxiety & Stress: Targeted strategies for generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and high-stress professional burnout.
• Trauma: Compassionate, evidence-based recovery and support for PTSD.

Above all, I believe in partnering with you as a collaborative ally. My practice is a safe, sophisticated space where clinical excellence is a given, and we work together to help you rediscover hope and transformation.
