About

Discover healing & transform your life.

Aloha! It is my desire to create a safe, warm & accepting space for all the individuals I work with. I believe that feelings of belonging & acceptance are the foundation of the growth we can achieve together. Understanding my clients' problems from a holistic perspective is important to me. As you share your unique story it is my goal to paint a more detailed picture of your problem within the context it has evolved & been maintained. My belief is that all problems make sense in the context of our unique experiences & relationships. My desire is to validate these experiences & help you work towards lasting healing. Your concerns may involve your loved ones. Family dynamics are complicated & every relationship experiences times of tension & disconnect. Family therapy can help you find new ways to communicate, handle conflict, & relate to one another. Couples therapy offers a safe space for you & your partner to explore your relationship & overcome trials together. I offer virtual sessions throughout Hawaii, Washington DC, & Florida. Contact me for a no-charge 20-minute phone consultation. You can tell me about your story & hopes for therapy. I’ll let you know how I can help.
