Licensed Clinical Social Worker | Accelerated Resolution Therapy Practitioner | IFS-Informed Therapist
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping individuals and families heal, grow, and navigate life’s challenges. My work is grounded in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and the belief that everyone has the capacity to heal.
I specialize in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.), a gentle, evidence-based approach that can quickly resolve trauma, anxiety, and other emotional pain. I’m also IFS-informed (Internal Family Systems), helping clients understand and care for the different parts of themselves. Alongside these, I integrate CBT, psychodynamic therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches to meet each client’s unique needs.
Raised in Hawaii and of Native Hawaiian ancestry, I bring the values of aloha and pili `ana (connection) into every session. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with confidence and peace.
