My work focuses on illuminating my clients' strengths and helping them to access their inner emotional and spiritual wisdom, while also acknowledging and challenging the patterns of thought, communication and behavior - fueled by self-sabotaging stories - that may have been keeping them from reaching their natural state of health, happiness and success.

Women have a complex and multi-layered relationship to their bodies - layers of shaming and conditioning around our body image, self-worth, sexuality, pleasure, menstruation, menopause, pregnancy, ageing, motherhood, and so much more. Women also carry immense pain within their wombs related to infertility, pregnancy loss through miscarriage and abortion, sexual violation and assault, medical procedures, and through internalized misogyny- all of which have a great impact on our body, minds, and souls. Feeling safe, vital, and connected to both yourself and others is your birthright. Deeply loving your body and womanhood is possible.

We are a collective of comprehensively trained, client-centered, and value-focused therapists who have a sincere interest in helping people improve connection to themselves, their sexuality, and their relationships with others. Our values reflect who we are as individuals and as a collective, where inclusivity is paramount, diversity is celebrated, and our work considers the needs of those we serve.

Aloha, I am a Couples and Family Therapist. My approach emphasizes the importance of working with a couple and family as a system that influence one another. To restructure healthy relationships, I use therapies that promote positive interactions between individuals. My methods include trans-generational, structural family therapy, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and Gottman Therapy. I use exercises such as enactments to help clients set new appropriate boundaries, build love maps to improve interactions and establish loving communication.
