About My Therapeutic Approach

I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing difficulty in managing their emotions, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or having difficulty navigating relationships. I support individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

I appreciate that every person has a unique history and circumstances, and as such mental health care needs to be tailored, flexible and adaptive. 

In therapy, we will work towards building skills to cope with the ups and downs of life, while also exploring your personal history to identify patterns in self-beliefs as they relate to earlier experiences. 

I am fully trained in EMDR, a member of EMDRIA and actively working toward certification. EMDR is a powerfully effective treatment for reprocessing past events and traumatic experiences to help you move forward with healthier insights and outlooks. In addition to EMDR I draw on tools from CBT, DBT , Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness and body awareness.

I understand that finding a therapist can feel incredibly overwhelming. I strongly encourage you to reach out for a brief consultation to explore your needs and discuss options. Sometimes a brief chat can help break the ice and help you ease into the next chapter of your healing journey.

About Me

Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I have called Kauai home since 2015. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Hawaii while working for Child and Family Service. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and two dogs, enjoying nature or catching up on duties at home.

 

Mental health and psychology have been lifelong passions of mine. I began my journey working in the mental health field in 2009 and have been proudly serving the Kauai community since 2016 working in non-profit, education, acute psychiatric care, crisis outreach, and community mental health. I am honored to apply my experience in private practice, partnering with individuals who are committed to improving their lives and mental well-being.
