Top in-person Hawaii therapists and psychiatrists who accept cash payments

I have over 25 years working with people facing a variety of life's challenges. I believe that all people have the power to change and this change comes from within as well as their connection to the community they are a part of. I see my work with individuals as a partnership where together we will develop a strategy for addressing the concerns that brought you to Spring Health. The core of my therapeutic techniques utilize Rogerian Therapy mixed with Minuchin systems theory.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience working in a variety of settings. I believe everyone should live life without judgment, fear, or distress and that developing trust with your therapist is the most important first step in the relationship. I work in trauma, abuse, domestic violence, anxiety, adjustment, relationships, and depression. Developing trust with your therapist is the most important first step in a therapeutic relationship. Once trust and rapport have been established, I will work with you to develop the goals of therapy. If you are having difficulties with past trauma, abuse, neglect, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, career, or life transitions, I am here to help you build management and coping skills. A vast majority of my experience has been working with individuals who have an array of social and behavioral difficulties.

If you’ve made it here, I’m sure you’d like to feel more in control and powerful without neglecting the people and things you care about. The problem is that daily stressors, illness, family pressures, lack of boundaries and trauma keep us feeling stuck and emotionally overwhelmed. Therapy can help! I work from a holistic-feminist perspective, focused on creating meaning while helping you to manage emotional distress and relationship issues. Our work together will focus on your whole person, including a wellness approach to mental health. Additionally, I practice EMDR and the Safe and Sound Protocol for nervous system resiliency and trauma. I work with women ages 19+ and the LGBTQ+ population to help you achieve these goals in a safe, affirming environment. It is my belief that the client-therapist relationship is the foundation for change, so I tailor each session to meet your needs and goals. We will work together to develop solutions that promote healing and growth in your life.

I am from Philadelphia, PA and grew up in southern NJ. I began my career in the corporate world and in a variety of creative environments, specifically in graphic design and music. I shifted my career path following several traumatic events that radically challenged my goals and changed my perspectives and beliefs about helping. It was that moment that I explored my life’s purpose and began to find ways to help others as a result of being unable to find the help I needed to cope and to function. Although those experiences were the most painful I have experienced, each has greatly influenced my approach to being an empathic listener and a non-judgmental clinician who can understand the impact of great pain and loss. I work with a variety of patients, including children, college students, couples, families, and older adults. Professionally, my approach is dialectical and as a DBT certified clinician I offer life skills that are practical, easy to recall, and allow for change.

It is my practice to encourage each client to discover their own inner resources and strengths while gaining personal empowerment. Whether you seek recovery from trauma, depression or anxiety, I will provide you the tools and skills to enhance your self-esteem, develop relationships and establish healthy boundaries and communication.
