About
As a practicing psychologist for over 20 years I have been privileged to be part of my client's lives. I moved from San Diego to the Big Island of Hawaii in 1996. My specialties have changed and developed through the years. Now I specialize in the treatment of adults suffering from trauma, addiction related illness, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and coping with illness. I have a particular interest in women's issues including domestic violence, work/life balance, parenting young adults, and menopause. I work with women and men facing transition points in their lives as they create renewed meaning in life. I've noticed an urgent desire in my clients to connect meaningfully with others and with themselves, Trauma including rape, incest, domestic violence, and physical/sexual/emotional abuse complicate the ability to connect deeply. Abuse of alcohol, drugs, social media, gambling and work contribute to feelings of isolation and can become barriers to meaningful connection. I strive to provide compassionate, respectful and productive psychotherapy to my clients. My approach to therapy is based on research and draws from many years of experience as a practicing psychologist. It is very rewarding to watch clients confront their difficulties, learn to do things differently and improve their life.
