Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Hawaii covered by Cigna

Hi, I’m Alexandra, a licensed mental health counselor. I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for support takes courage, and it’s a privilege to walk alongside people who are ready to heal, grow, and create meaningful change in their lives.

I have worked in the mental health field for over 15 years and have been a licensed mental health counselor and Doctor of Clinical Psychology for 12 years. Additionally, I have collaborated with clients of all ages, cultures, Nationalities and from all social classes dealing with a wide range of issues. My experience is vast as I have worked with the following: neuro-psychiatric, suicidal ideation/attempts, LGBTQIA, PTSD, anger management, grief/loss, trauma, abuse, relationship issues, school counseling, juvenile justice, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, personality disorders, domestic violence, crisis intervention, codependency, and group/family/individual therapy.

Aloha and welcome! Do you feel like you’re constantly carrying the weight of your past, or perhaps you’re struggling to navigate a difficult life transition? It can be exhausting to feel "stuck" in cycles of anxiety or trauma. I believe that you deserve a space where you feel truly seen and heard. Together, we will work to peel back the layers of these challenges, helping you find clarity and relief. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner strength so you can move forward with a sense of peace and purpose. You don't have to carry this alone anymore.

I believe that you deserve to be your happiest, healthiest, and most empowered self.

Have you noticed patterns in your life keeping you from attaining your goals? My name is Angela and I was born and raised in the Hawaiian islands. I have extensive skills and possess over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I have served as a Behavioral Health specialist, school counselor and Intensive In-Home therapist. My work highlights specialties that include issues related to anxiety, trauma, domestic violence and relationship building. I aim to serve individuals between the ages of 13 and 62 and am happy to be in a field where I can give back to a community that invested so much in me.

I believe everyone is doing their best with the skills and resources they have. In therapy, I create a safe space for clients to process challenges, gain understanding, and develop skills. Through collaboration, we identify your needs and goals, working towards healing, resilience, and self-awareness.
