Couples therapists in Hawaii

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.

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 was trained as a Deaf Educator and can support people with various learning styles and needs. I also work with mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, and Reiki to bring in a holistic approach to mental health.

Client-focused, not one-size fits all. It's all about relationships. I'm here to listen and perhaps gently guide. I use psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and Gottman technique with couples.

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.

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.

I see therapy as a collaborative process. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier coping strategies, and build on your existing strengths to foster lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, I aim to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and capable of creating the life you want.

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.
