Counseling

I am trained as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor.  I am equipped to assist individuals throughout all the islands of Hawai'i through counseling. 

 

The modalities I typically employ for 1:1 individual therapy are a solution-focused brief therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and a culturally sensitive approach. I also use motivational interviewing to help people in the present moment and guide them toward a fulfilling future. I support those seeking healing, authenticity, and intentionality.  

 

However, I may not be the best fit as a therapist for those experiencing severe mental health challenges or seeking to discuss trauma as I like to practice in the present moment and help individual's move towards creating a powerful future instead of discussing past topics. 

 

Sessions typically last either 30 or 50 minutes and all are conducted via telehealth.
