My communication style

Through the therapeutic relationship, client enters into a safe space of openness, acceptance, non-pathologizing, empathetic, non-judgmental, honest, cheerful, and hopeful. Client is seen, valued, important, and matters. Additionally, the counseling environment is a place to discover client strengths and develop new perspectives of self.

My journey to mental healthcare

Initially, I entered the MA Counseling program to educate myself to better support those in the community, church, and ministries. Through the process, I gained transformative knowledge and experienced the ability to help people heal and become free. This led me to consider a career path and licensure in Hawaii.

My goals for you

Engagement in a therapeutic experience that will be healing and transformational. Identifying key goals in the initial sessions and making adjustments as goals are achieved or modified. You will learn how to regulate and understand emotions; develop new skills for managing self, time, stress; and navigate relational conflict.

Our first session

First, depending on the current issues of the client, there is a dedication to reducing and addressing immediate needs. The goal is to build relational equity for client and therapist, introductions, reviewing confidentiality, counseling policies, and process. Finally, a brief summary and evaluation of the client will be presented.
