Mission Statement:

To provide individuals, couples and families with the resources and supports necessary to facilitate constructive changes in their particular journeys, while also empowering them to choose aloha.

My philosophy

Balance of Body - Mind - Spirit is key to mental wellness.

The first step to healing begins with a conscious choice, then a commitment to work. Change and growth cannot occur without these things.

Everyone deserves to feel heard, no matter age or shape or identity.

Choose Aloha

Therapy?

I was raised by a village...men of absolute grit and the fiercest of women, in a traditional and very large Hawaiian family. I was raised in aloha.

I learned through experience the value of ‘ohana, through story-telling the power of ho’oponopono to resolve the worst of conflicts. I was groomed to share my makana, mana, and ‘ike with anyone who needs it.

I am educated and mentored in the treatment of mental health from a Native Hawaiian perspective.
