Therapists in Kauai County, HI

Most of us experience times when we need help to deal with problems and issues that cause us emotional distress. If you are having a problem or dilemma that is making you feel overwhelmed, you may benefit from the assistance of an experienced, trained professional. Mental health professionals offer the caring and expert assistance that people need during stressful times. As a Marriage and Family Therapist the focus of my work is to understand my clients' symptoms and interaction patterns within their existing environment. I am trained to work with people focusing on how they relate to others.

Aloha and mahalo nui loa for showing up today and taking a brave step towards experiencing a more fulfilling and joyful life! My focus is to build a trusting relationship with you, truly listen with compassion to understand your needs and collaborate with you to meet your expectations. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Hawaii with 20 years of professional work experience. I enjoy working with clients of all ages including children, teenagers and adults with a variety of presenting needs as well as multicultural counseling with clients including Asian-Americans, Black-Americans, immigrants and LGBTQIA+ clients.

Currently not accepting new clients! I believe we all need support from time to time. As a systemic and compassionate therapist, I believe in walking alongside my clients, through the trenches and up the hill. I meet my clients where they are by building a safe haven to work through the difficulties of life.

Sometimes life's every day challenges and our underlying struggles make it difficult to realize our true potential. Motivated by grief, depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and a range of other experiential states we can find our deepest well of inner strength and guidance. There is support available for anyone wanting to engage in a collaborative relationship to enhance your well-being and quality of life.

I enjoy working with individuals and families of all types. My goal is to help people live a happier and more fulfilling life by working through their challenges. I have experience working with young children, tweens/teens, adults, and families on a broad range of issues. I believe in focusing on the strengths of each person or family I work with and building from there. I am willing to work with anyone who would like help and is open to making positive changes in their life.

Aloha :) Currently accepting new Kaiser Permanente and HMSA clients. I welcome individuals of all backgrounds and life experiences into this shared work.

Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming. I understand it takes courage to be vulnerable, so I’ll meet you with compassion and a non-judgmental space for healing. A safe space for exploring your thoughts and feelings while being heard and understood. Our lived experiences can often burden us with feelings of hopelessness, worry, fear, shame, and guilt, or sometimes have us questioning our self-worth or purpose in life. You have worth and your needs matter and are deserving of individualized attention. Together, I will support you in processing what has you feeling stuck or in pain and interfering with your daily life.

Are you bothered by constant worry, fear, nervousness or anxiety? Feeling down, depressed, hopeless or like life is always going wrong? Having difficulty focusing or concentrating and feeling like you are always on the move? Is procrastinating or always putting things off until the last minute something you struggle with? These are all a part of being human, and there is nothing wrong with you. Let me help you better how to understand these thoughts, and feelings and drop the struggle against them. I can help you better understand how you can change behaviors and live a better life, even with these thoughts and feelings.

Life can be scary and uncertain. Especially right now. We are all trying to figure out how to feel "normal" through the increased & unexpected stressors brought by the pandemic. We often don't consider the importance in asking for help until we feel so heavy we don't know where to turn. My role is to help you identify your strengths and help provide tools to manage the difficult emotions. Anxiety, depression, and fear are all exacerbated during a time of crisis. Some of us are isolated without much social support and are experiencing strain in our relationships with family, friends, or colleagues.
