Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Hawaii, serving the Hawaiian Islands as a social worker since 2008. I have worked with clients of all ages and diverse backgrounds. My specialty is working with the aging population (60+ years old), their caregivers, and those facing chronic illness.
Being born and raised in Hawaii, I have been blessed to grow up in a community that values humility, different cultures, respect towards others, and family (whether by blood or at heart). These values are foundational to my practice. My hope is for clients to feel that I am approachable, present in the moment, and safe. My style of counseling is calm, conversational, and person centered.
Each person is different with unique needs. I plan to listen to understand, and I will adjust my approach to what works for you. Together, we can talk about what is important to you and what are goals that you want to achieve. I am here to support and empower you.
I love working, because I get to meet and help people! When I am not social work-ing, I enjoy going to museums, watching live theater, and hitting whatever target I am aiming at. I am also a Christian.
I look forward to working with you!

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, online therapy is generally as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the mode of communication that fits their routines and comfort level, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to attend sessions without disrupting daily life.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to request a different therapist at any time if they are seeking a better fit. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible way to address many everyday mental health concerns.
