Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Honolulu, HI

I have lived in Hawaii for 12 years now and am originally from New York State. My dad lived on Kauai my whole life so my connections and roots are here. In my personal time, I love to take care of animals, eat healthy, and enjoy the island. I believe that mental health is a whole body and system approach. I have worked with children and adolescents my entire career. My presence has been strong in the school system so I know how to navigate that culture and those rules as well.

I am a licensed psychologist, educator, and researcher dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges while building a stronger connection to themselves and their values. My professional background includes working in healthcare, higher education, community mental health, and veteran settings, giving me experience supporting clients from diverse cultural, racial, gender, and sexual identity backgrounds.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, identity exploration, and issues affecting LGBTQIA+ individuals. My research and clinical work have focused on understanding how culture, identity, and lived experiences shape mental health and well-being.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, respected, and empowered. Whether you're navigating a difficult transition, healing from past experiences, exploring your identity, or seeking greater fulfillment in your relationships and daily life, I strive to provide a supportive environment where meaningful growth can occur.

Welcome. Thank you for taking the first step toward wholeness. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on systemic and relational healing. This includes journeying with my clients through ancestral, childhood, and adulthood life challenges to help them access and address pain.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with the whole system -- the relationships -- both INTRApersonal and INTERpersonal relationships. I support individuals with their own internal landscape as well as their way of connecting and relating with others.

I also work with mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, and Reiki to bring in a holistic approach to mental health.

I believe that prioritizing your mental health is essential to building a strong successful, and fulfilling life. Life can be overwhelming at times, and my goal is to support you in navigating its challenges with confidence and clarity. I would love to walk alongside you in that process.
