Aloha, I understand therapy as an open and collaborative conversation, one we can have at any point in our lives. My sessions do not emphasize a person’s diagnoses, and I never view people through the lens of pathology. I prefer to build a warm and nurturing environment that provides space for us to address your specific needs.

Have you experienced loss or adjusting to change? Life comes with loss and change: the death of a loved one, the loss of health, a break-up. Dealing with any loss and adjusting to major change often negatively affects us, and our emotional well-being and coping habits are sometimes compromised as a result.
