Therapy
in Hawai'i
Good Therapy Starts With Good Connection
I’m currently welcoming new individual and couples clients throughout Hawaiʻi for online therapy.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, or a season of life that feels particularly hard, I’d love to hear what’s bringing you here.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can get acquainted, talk about what you’re looking for, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
What's Asking for Your Attention?
You may know that something is not working, even if you do not yet have the words for it.
Therapy can offer support with:
-
Anxiety, overthinking, and emotional overwhelm
-
Trauma, grief, and difficult life experiences
-
Relationship conflict, communication, and intimacy
-
Trust, attachment, and recurring relationship difficulties
-
Self-worth, boundaries, imposter syndrome, and people-pleasing
-
Life transitions, identity, and feeling stuck
Individual and Couples Therapy
Individual Therapy
No two people are the same, and therapy shouldn’t be either. My training in both mind- and body-based approaches allows me to tailor our sessions to how you learn, process, and feel.
We might talk, laugh, cry, practice new skills, or incorporate breathwork, mindfulness, and movement. I’ll also share resources to deepen your understanding and, if you’d like, exercises or homework to explore between sessions. No pressure, no one-size-fits-all approach.
I believe you carry wisdom about what’s best for you. My role is to help you reconnect with it. This is a collaborative process.
My approach draws from: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, psychodynamic and Jungian approaches, mindfulness, and somatic practices.
Couples Therapy
One of the most important parts of my job is making sure both partners have an equal place in the room. I’m not there to referee arguments or determine who’s right. I’m there to help create an environment where difficult conversations can happen without either person feeling dismissed or outnumbered.
We won’t just talk about your relationship. We’ll work with it in real time - slowing down difficult conversations, practicing new ways of responding, and making room for things that might be harder to say at home. I can also offer resources and exercises to try together between sessions, if you’re both open to them.
My approach draws from: The Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment-based therapy, behavioral approaches, and mindfulness.
I welcome couples across relationship stages, identities, and structures, including LGBTQ+, monogamous, and ethically non-monogamous relationships.
Why Therapy With Me
I take my work seriously, and that means continually investing in my own growth. I’m always learning, training, questioning what I know, and doing my own personal work. I’ve never felt more aligned with anything in my life, and I bring that passion and curiosity into every session.
I’m committed to creating a space free from judgment and personal agendas - where feedback, disagreement, and new ideas are always welcome. As I get to know you and new things come to light, our work evolves. I adapt my approach to what we discover along the way.
You don’t have to earn my respect. You already have it.

Coaching vs. Therapy
Therapy is clinical mental health care. It can include assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for concerns such as anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship difficulties.
Coaching is non-clinical support focused on personal growth, relationships, communication, and navigating life’s challenges. It does not include diagnosis or mental health treatment.
Both can be valuable, but they serve different purposes. If you’re unsure which is right for you, we can talk through your options during a free consultation.
Therapy and coaching are separate services. To maintain appropriate professional boundaries, I cannot provide both services to the same client.
