I have been in practice as a marriage and family therapist for over a decade, and focus on serving adolescents, college students, and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, guilt, shame,  and co-occurring substance abuse concerns. I emphasize self-compassion and self-acceptance in my therapeutic work, and tailor my treatment to help people create and live values-based lives that are congruent with their identities and goals.

I am passionate about working with AAPI and Indigenous students, and those transitioning to the mainland from Hawaii. Providing culturally competent services is a priority for me, and I take pride in continuously honing my multicultural counseling skillset. I ascribe to a person-centered, strengths-based theoretical orientation and utilize a mix of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, short-term solution focused, and positive psychology interventions in my practice.

Healing and overcoming challenges are an inherent part of personal growth, but you don’t have to journey alone. I offer individual and family therapy services to clients located in California and Nevada. Email or call today for a free 15-minute consultation and let’s take the first step together.
