Therapists in Honolulu County, HI

If you're reading this, you've already taken the hardest step toward feeling better - reaching out for help. That's why it's so important my clients feel understood, heard, and supported. I use a collaborative, compassionate, yet direct approach to help my clients gain insight into patterns that may have them feeling "stuck" in place. Among other techniques, I use evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, so you can make the long-term behavior changes that will put you on the right track.

I believe the goal of therapy is "To Be True to Yourself". Knowing yourself more fully is a key step. I provide a safe, accepting setting where you can set goals, get information and skills to work towards those goals, and lovingly confront yourself as you identify and overcome barriers. The therapist/client relationship is special. Finding a therapist is similar to selecting shoes. Beyond the shoe's quality, it needs to fit your unique feet. Please call me, to discuss your wants and needs in therapy, and discover if it feels like a good fit.

Life takes us for turns we don't expect and sometimes we’re able to get through them, but in other times, we can become stuck.

When life brings us to this point, reaching out for help is a courageous first step toward change. Entering therapy can provide clarity to the confusion and is a safe place to explore alternative avenues toward an improved quality of life.

There is a popular Lao Tsu quote that says, "Knowing others is wisdom, but knowing yourself is enlightenment." Without intentionally reflecting and looking inwards it becomes difficult to stay present and even keeled. Using current evidenced based practices my goal is to help you rediscover yourself and alleviate some of the barriers like (but not limited to) depression, anxiety or intrusive thoughts, substance abuse, family/marital issues and anger problems that are keeping you from truly being present, knowing yourself, and investing fully into meaningful relationships with those around you.

We all experience speed bumps during our life journey. Though it may seem we are "lost, "unsure of, I believe the powers we are looking for are inside YOU! One simply needs to be validated and to strengthen the emotional "muscles" that have grown weak-just as we exercise our bodies and our minds, we must exercise our emotional muscles.
