Here's a bit about me before we get started.

​

I was born and raised in Hawai‘i and earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. For the past eight years, I’ve worked with adults, children, and families throughout East Hawai‘i in both community-based and outpatient settings.

​

I’m currently a pre-licensed professional, which means my clinical work is completed under the supervision and consultation of a qualified Licensed Clinical Social Worker while I work toward Hawai‘i state licensure.

​

Here’s what I believe:

You already have qualities within you that support healing, growth, and a greater sense of peace. My role is to help you reconnect with those qualities, strengthen them, and learn how to trust yourself along the way.

​

There may be parts of you you’ve tried to fix, manage, set aside, or keep under wraps. Together, we can get curious about what they’ve been carrying and why they showed up in the first place. When these parts feel seen and understood, they can soften, rest, or step into more supportive roles, creating more spaciousness, compassion, and trust in your inner world.

​

My approach is collaborative and shaped around your individual needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

​

People who work with me can expect to feel greater compassion, confidence, and trust in themselves as they navigate the emotions that make us human, leading to more fulfilling relationships with both themselves and others.

 

I look forward to creating a space where you can reconnect with your strengths, nurture your potential, and feel more at home within yourself.
