About

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision, and I want you to feel confident in that choice. I believe you are the expert on your own life—you know what matters most to you, what you’re struggling with, and what you want to change. My role is to support and guide you as you explore what’s getting in the way of a more peaceful, joyful life. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back and create a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, understood, empowered, and genuinely cared for. Reaching out for help takes courage, and I truly commend you for prioritizing your mental health. I strive to make therapy a safe, welcoming space where you can be your full self—without judgment. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you in your healing journey. Credentials & Experience: I am licensed in Hawaii, Missouri and New Mexico. I have over 20 years experience and enjoy working with a wide range of clients and a wide range of issues. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy, and working with first/bio/adoptive/foster parents, adoptees and foster youth.
