We have all found ourselves feeling confused, angry, depressed, worried, betrayed, or abandoned, and we need a place to feel safe, supported, and accepted. I am dedicated to providing this space for you and assisting you in navigating life's troubled waters.

Malia was a wonderful therapist. She really understood me and the difficulties I was going through. We discussed situations thoroughly and she asked very thoughtful questions that made me look at things differently. She asked tough questions to get at the heart of problems. She gave me tools to use to really work my way through these issues. I’m so thankful for our sessions.
