Therapy Rooted in Heritage, Culture, and the Spirit of Aloha
Indigenous & Multicultural Support for the Journey Forward
As a Native Hawaiian born and raised in Hawai’i, my clinical work is a direct reflection of my heritage and the values of my community. I am deeply passionate about supporting Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and 'locals' as they navigate the complexities of life on the mainland.
Living away from the islands brings specific challenges—from the subtle ache of displacement to the weight of navigating systems that don't always align with your values. My approach honors your identity, ensuring you feel seen and understood without having to bridge the cultural gap for your therapist.
Disaster recovery is not just a physical process; it is a deeply communal one. I provide specialized, compassionate therapy for California residents impacted by the Lahaina Maui fires, as well as the recent Kona storms.
Whether you are navigating the trauma of loss, the stress of displacement, or the long-term emotional impact of these events, I offer a space grounded in shared understanding. Together, we work to process the grief and rebuild the resilience that has always been a part of our community’s story.
Cultural Resilience: Maui Fire & Kona Storm Recovery
Honoring Your Unique Rhythm
Therapy with me is about meeting you exactly where you are—respecting your ancestors, your experiences, and your unique rhythm. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, exploring your cultural identity, or healing from trauma, we will work together to find your steadiness. You don't have to navigate these shifts alone.
A Secure, Private Space for Healing
I provide a secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual environment that honors the realities of your daily life. I believe your mental health should be a priority, not an additional stressor. Because I support families and individuals in all seasons, infants, breastfeeding, and bottle-feeding are always welcome in our sessions.
Whether you are navigating the pressure of a new environment or the quiet exhaustion of recovery, there is a way through. Let’s find your steadiness together.
