Counseling/Therapy Services

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who specializes in trauma and complex PTSD. I have over 20 years of helping students, parents, women, and BIPOC individuals with the unique challenges they face in life. The last 10 of those years, I have been a mental health practitioner, parent advocate and trauma specialist in Hawai’i and Virginia.
 
I have an eclectic approach that blends Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, Body Centered/Somatic practices, behavioral neuroscience, nature & spirituality. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families. Look forward to meeting you and walking with you on your journey. 

Through our work together, my hope is that you will gain tools of resilience, self-reflection, loving-kindness, and non-judgment to thrive in all areas of your life.

We’ll explore the many facets of your experience while you gain practical tools that will help pave the way for personal growth and healing. In a warm, empathic, non-judgmental therapy space, my goal is to help you:

  • Heal, unburden and better understand the different parts of yourself
  • Explore how power and privilege (related to race, gender, sexuality, class, ability and more) manifest inside and outside of the therapy room
  • Love the younger versions of you who are carrying old hurts
  • Live a life where you feel sacred, full, free and focused
  • Explore how your body is both an avenue for understanding your story and how it can be a resource to you
  • Get to the root cause of your issues to help you resolve them
  • Gain a greater level of self-awareness and learn effective ways to manage life stressors
  • Discover new ways to tap into your own inner strength and stimulate a felt sense of empowerment
  • Heal from trauma and unburden painful parts that keep you feeling stuck
  • Break negative patterns of thinking and embrace self-compassion and self-love
  • Experience renewed zest for life

Look forward to meeting you and walking with you on your journey.  To see my availability and seek out services: ***BOOK AN APPOINTMENT or CONSULATION with me HERE! ***
