Welcome
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a virtual practice serving adults in Hawai'i.
As a generalist, I treat a range of presenting concerns, but have specialized training in LGBTQIA affirming care. I also offer culturally responsive evidence-based treatments for PTSD, anger/irritability, insomnia, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. I am an integrative therapist taking a flexible, person-centered approach to meet the unique needs of my clients.
To hearken is to listen, to give respectful attention. Therapy requires listening without judgment so that you can speak authentically. I strive to create a safe and collaborative therapeutic environment. Regardless of your reasons for seeking therapy, my aim is to walk alongside you and help guide your path to healing.
Finding a therapist can be challenging, especially one that is the right fit for your needs. It is important that the therapist you select offers scientifically informed treatments and has experience addressing your areas of concern. It is also important that they offer appointment times that work with your schedule and either accept insurance or are within your budget. Finally, it is important that you can genuinely connect with the therapist and develop a trusting relationship so healing can occur.
To best determine fit, I recommend scheduling a free 15-minute consultation.
Please note that I have limited availability on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Although I will be accepting insurance in the near future, I am currently only accepting private pay. However, superbills are available and I accept HSA.
