I have 18 years of experience working with adolescents, children and adults on Maui in different settings: from the Hawai'i public schools to non for profits, private practices and grassroots healing organizations. I specialize in working with teens, couples, and adults and some areas of focus are: anxiety, depression, OCD, grief and complex trauma. My personal goal is to work myself out of a job and to see you walk out the door having achieved your therapy goals and feeling positive about your future. For more detailed information, please visit my website: Lifebalancemaui.com
I value being a non judgmental, culturally sensitive, trusted person you will achieve results with. I specialize in working with teens, couples, and adults. Together we will develop a healing treatment plan that begins with clarifying goals and concludes with the integration of skills that will continue to serve you throughout life's challenges, old and new.
Every painful problem is different and everyone heals in different ways. Over the last 2 decades I have worked in different settings: the Hawai'i school system, private practice, Na Keiki o Emalia (a grief support organization) and a Maui grass roots healing hui. I welcome working with you towards creating more ease, greater balance and freedom in your life.
