Thank you for taking a moment to consider setting up an appointment with me. Just the fact that you are on this website indicates that there is some part of you that wants help with overcoming challenges in your life. I am a compassionate and caring clinical psychologist with specialized training in trauma/PTSD assessment and treatment, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders. My primary approach involves cognitive-behavioral therapy which utilizes well-researched and empirically supported treatment protocols. Despite the pain you may be in now, the good news is there are treatments that work! The particular approach I use to treat PTSD is Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE). Numerous well-controlled studies over the past two decades have shown that PE significantly reduces the symptoms of PTSD as well as co-morbid symptoms of depression, anger and anxiety. I grew up in Kailua, Oahu and returned after several years on the mainland to raise my family here. As a result, I am familiar with the unique culture in Hawaii. I also have a great deal of experience in working with service members and their families.
