I'm someone who values change, growth, and new experiences, which is what brought me from Connecticut to Hawaii several years ago. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Connecticut (UCONN) in 2016, building upon a Bachelor of Science in Social Work with a Psychology minor. My career has included working at Yale New Haven Hospital in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) and with individuals living with severe mental illness across geriatric, adolescent, and adult psychiatric units. I have also provided hospice support for individuals and families navigating palliative care and end-of-life concerns. Currently, I work as an outpatient Clinician supporting mental health for Veterans.
I became a therapist because I have a genuine desire to help people. I have appreciated having the opportunity to help individuals move toward relief, gain clarity, recognize their strengths and navigate life transitions with greater confidence and support.
Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born out of the lack of Afrocentric based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their journey of life through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health and the denial of the experience of being a person of color continues to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to talk about these experiences.
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.

Welcome, and 初めまして。 I offer telehealth therapy for residents of Hawaii and New York and accepting new patients.
If you’re here, you’re probably hoping to feel better—fast. That’s human.
I was born in Japan, grew up in the U.S., and have lived in both Hawaii and New York. I’m a licensed clinical social worker in both states, with a background in leading nationally recognized mental health programs and training over 200 therapists. I also bring a business perspective, which helps me focus on practical, real-world solutions.
From both professional and personal experience, I understand how even strong, capable people can feel overwhelmed when life throws a curveball.
Sometimes change takes time, but we can begin right away by making sense of what’s going on and finding realistic ways to move forward.
I take a practical, steady approach, backed by over 25 years of experience in mental health.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Hawaii
Searching for therapists in Hawaii starts with finding someone whose training and focus match what you want support with. Needs and available therapists can vary across urban and rural parts of the state, so it helps to look beyond location alone. You may want care for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care.
Your search may look different in Honolulu, Hilo, Kahului, or other communities across the islands. Some people prefer in-person therapy close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. To narrow your options, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, their appointment availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience before you book.
The cost of therapy in Hawaii varies, and care can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
