Approach

I integrate various approaches to meet clients where they are at. Approaches include person-centered, strengths-based, trauma informed, solution focused, cognitive behavioral, and reality therapy. I believe in uplifting the individual to uplift our community.

About Me

I was born and raised on the island of O’ahu. I graduated from Waipahu High School and studied Psychology and Womenʻs Studies at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. Upon graduation I worked with children with disabilities, primarily with autism. I went on to receive my masterʻs degree in Counseling Psychology from Chaminade University of Honolulu. I became a case worker for foster youth and young adults, and later a counselor working primarily with the Native Hawaiian population in various community settings. In 2020 Iʻm paying it forward to Chaminade University and the community, by educating future counselors. In my free time I enjoy playing video games, eating, spending time with friends and family, and martial arts.
