“The only way out is through.” —  Robert Frost

I am so glad you are here. It takes a great deal of courage and strength to start this vulnerable journey. Throughout our time together, I vow to give you the utmost grace as I support and empathize with whatever you choose to share.

I truly believe every person is capable of change. You know yourself best, and it is my pleasure to encourage and empower you. I value rapport as it remains at the forefront of my practice and believe in the importance of authenticity and open communication, creating a safe and supportive environment for growth.”

Born and raised in Hawaii, I strive to embody the aloha spirit in my practice. This means communicating with empathy, empowerment, and without judgment. I lead my therapeutic practice with gratitude, fully aware of the courage it takes to share uncomfortable thoughts and emotions. Together, I aim to help you discover new parts of yourself that foster healing and peace.

I have experience utilizing various theoretical modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment theory, mindfulness practices, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I believe in flexibility and will work with you to find the approach that best suits your needs.

Previously, I worked at an underserved BIPOC community center in San Diego, providing free therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples. Multiculturalism is a cornerstone of my practice, and I prioritize exploring how our identities intersect and impact our mental health.

Outside of helping others, I love spending time outdoors with my two dogs, Maple and Cooper, and trying new foods with my partner. Additionally, I am a professional photographer, which nourishes my creative and artistic passions.
