Aloha, I’m Koalani, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist by day, mom of 2 energetic boys— 24/7.

I have over a decade of clinical experience, including seven years supporting military families, as well as working in pediatric medical settings; helping individuals and families navigate life’s most intense transitions. But underneath it all, I am human, just like you. And I believe that the best therapy happens when clinical expertise meets deep, lived empathy.

I became a new mom in 2020, during a time of profound global uncertainty and isolation. With the world shut down and support systems far away, my fears and anxieties were at an all-time high. Like many parents in the perinatal period, I was deeply affected by isolation, emotional disconnection, chronic exhaustion, and a loss of sense of self. Even as a therapist, my mental health was significantly impacted, and I found myself struggling behind closed doors.

I also knew firsthand the life-changing impact therapy can have. Seeking support helped me reconnect with myself and move through that challenging season, reinforcing my belief in therapy as a powerful space for healing, reflection, and growth.

Driven by my own experience with postpartum depression and anxiety, I felt called to support others navigating a similar path. I strive to create a warm, safe, and healing space for individuals seeking support during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. My approach integrates clinical expertise with lived experience, offering deep empathy and understanding for the emotional and relational challenges that can arise as individuals and families adjust to the demands of daily life.
