ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Hawaii

I am a board certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with 3 years of independent practice and over a decade in the healthcare field. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, and sleep disorders.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, or just need someone to talk to? You've come to the right place. Throughout our lifetime, we are faced with many challenges, barriers, and successes that can all have their own level of overwhelmingness and joy. Whatever you are going through, let's work through it together.

Clinically trained while integrating spirit, intuition and the work of visionaries at the growing edge of wisdom. I offer lovingly honest support to individuals and couples motivated to create change in their lives. Clients that work with me often gain insights, feel more connected to themselves and others and increase their emotional well being.

You've been carrying something heavy — maybe for a while now. It might be anxiety that follows you everywhere, grief that doesn't seem to lift, chronic pain that touches every part of your day, or just the sense that you're holding it together on the outside while something's unraveling inside. Whatever it is, you don't have to keep doing this alone. I'm Jesse, and for over 20 years I've helped people of all ages — from youth to the elderly — find their way through depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, and some of life's most overwhelming changes.

My communication style is nonjudgmental, authentic, and grounded in honesty, empathy, and respect. I believe that meaningful therapeutic work happens when clients feel safe enough to be themselves and know they will be met with understanding rather than criticism. My goal is to create a space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences while feeling genuinely supported throughout the process.

I take a holistic approach to therapy and believe it is important to understand the whole person, not just the challenges that bring them to treatment. Together, we may explore areas such as work-life balance, childhood experiences, relationships, physical health and well-being, cultural influences, personal values, and future goals. By considering the many factors that shape your life, we can develop a deeper understanding of your experiences and create a path toward meaningful, lasting growth.

I strive to balance compassion with honesty, offering both support and thoughtful feedback when appropriate. My goal is to help you gain insight, strengthen self-awareness, and make choices that align with the life you want to create.

My career began in 1997 as an AmeriCorps member working in harm reduction during the peak of new HIV infections. Since then, I've held many roles as a proud social worker. I have been a therapist for 18 years, with extensive training & experience in harm reduction therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD. I have lived experience with mental health challenges and treatment
