My communication style

My communication style adapts to the needs of each session. While some discussions may warrant an empathetic and validating approach, others may necessitate a more assertive and collaborative style. I strive to establish an environment that encourages safe and open communication.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a Native Hawaiian, I sought to bridge the gap in mental health services for our community. I strongly believe in the necessity of having culturally relatable individuals to guide the processing of our most profound wounds. I found purpose in empowering individuals to navigate life's challenges with resilience and healing.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is grounded in recognizing strengths, focusing on solutions, and prioritizing your perspective. I believe in your self-awareness and serve as a collaborative guide to affirm your strengths and determine the most effective path forward for you.

Our first session

In our initial session, we'll discuss your motivations for therapy and assess compatibility. I build rapport by fostering a safe, comfortable environment. If we're a good fit, we'll outline a plan together. If not, I'll recommend other approaches that may better align with your needs.
