I am a marriage and family therapist who is licensed to practice in the beautiful states of Hawaii, Florida, and South Carolina. For the last 13 years, I have been working with clients from incredibly varied backgrounds dealing with a wide range of concerns. My most frequent work has been with people struggling with substance use issues, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and interpersonal and family relationship concerns. When I was 17, my mother passed away and I struggled with the grief and life-changes that followed. I sought the help of a marriage and family therapist and it was through her compassion and wisdom that I was able to navigate this difficult time. This therapist inspired me to want to help others in the way I had been helped and so I began my extensive studies in the world of marriage and family therapy. Over the last 20 years, I have learned and drawn from such modalities as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Structural Family Therapy. Just as my family had to encourage me to seek treatment after the death of my mother, I want to encourage you to reach out to someone who can help you with whatever you are struggling with. If that person is me, I would be honored to listen to your concerns and work with you to achieve a positive outcome.

The methodologies I use in practice are fairly common throughout the therapeutic community. Perhaps my main focus is on DBT or dialectic behavioral therapy. I believe that DBT is extremely helpful in managing intense emotions, In navigating social relationships. DBT works with a variety of disorders to include anxiety, depression, depression common suicidal ideation. Because DVT includes CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy, it is also very impactful in assisting people who have been traumatized either through childhood or through recent events. This provider resides in Hawaii. My approach There are times when humanistic modality is helpful. Maslow's hierarchy of human needs. Roger's notion of the self, or self-concept. I believe that each person has the answer to their maladies. Our work is to help them find those answers. However, perhaps the most frequent humanistic modality used by me is Roger's unconditional positive regard for each patient/client. I work without judgment. I rarely if ever use psychoanalytic methodologies because they are beyond my training and scope of services. However, I have used, successively, psychodynamic methodologies that allow patients/clients some access to the subconscious through guided meditations, Inner Child Work, art, and sand tray therapy. My focus I have been practicing here in Hawaii for 29 years I've worked very closely and intimately with local families and individuals, with military families and individuals, severely mentally ill individuals, individuals who have been traumatized by sexual abuse, members of the L GBTQ+ community, And with folks who just need a little help or guidance in getting their lives headed in the direction they wish. I currently work with individuals. My communication style I hope to create a professional but relaxed tone, where both you and I can speak freely and honestly. I am very easygoing, not likely to tell you what you should do, and practice unconditional patient regard. My journey to mental healthcare When I first got my Master of social work degree, I worked in counseling units and found that I had a true love for practicing clinically. It was then that I decided to get the supervision needed to get my clinical license. I do this work because there's nothing more satisfying to me than watching people get well. My goals for you I work w/ clients to articulate their goals, and then, together, we develop objectives or steps to attain that goal. My first session with you The first session is fairly casual. Discuss the meaning of confidentiality and areas where that can be broken. Important for this provider to hear from the patients themselves what brings them in this day You can expect that there'll be questions back and forth just for clarification, and being as what you would like to have is a goal or outcome of this therapeutic relationship. Sessions usually run about 45 to 50 minutes. That gives me time to prepare for my next client.
