Welcome
As a licensed psychologist providing culturally sensitive therapy, I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment to address your concerns. I use an integrative approach that includes cognitive behavioral and interpersonal theory to personalize treatment to your needs. With compassion and understanding, I work with you to develop an individualized plan to actively work toward your goals. In treatment, we will explore what may interfere with you reaching your goals, gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop new ways of coping to build a meaningful life and relationships.
I work with adults addressing the following issues: anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, stress, diversity and cultural issues, life changes and transitions, relationships, divorce, grief and loss, college student issues and low self-esteem.
I grew up on Oahu and returned after 16 years on the mainland to serve the local community and those who make Hawaii their home. I hold office hours on Fridays from 8am-4pm. Please feel free to contact me to see if I might be a good fit for you.
