About
I am a licensed clinical social worker and substance use counselor with over 12 years of experience as an Oahu-based social worker/therapist. I have worked with clients with varied concerns, including trauma responses, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, managing life stress/problems, and other mental health providers facing compassion fatigue and burnout. I focus on nervous system regulation. My counseling style is warm and interactive. and I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion without stigmatizing labels. My approach is eclectic and combines elements of the humanistic perspective. I focus on trauma-informed care, well-being theory, positive psychology, problem-solving therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. Part of my approach includes a science, evidenced-based model of supporting the healing journey. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Understanding culture and the role it plays in life is another important element that we will incorporate. My goal is to empower you and provide tools while creating a space where you can safely take those next steps on your life journey.
