Treatment Modalities
I am friendly, real, and comfortable person to talk with. Therapy can feel daunting and embarrassing, especially at first, so it's important that you feel comfortable when you are talking about what's bothering you. You are coming to therapy to work on issues and resolve problems and you want support and answers. When you come in we will talk about what you feel ready to deal with. I will gently guide you through the process of uncovering your needs and wants in a way that doesn't feel threatening or invasive and help you get those in your life.
I often use Cognitive/Behavioral theory, which addresses your thoughts and behaviors as well as Object Relations theory, which looks at your family experiences. I also have extensive experience with multiple other theories to match your personal needs. Listening, understanding and helping you find solutions are what I do best.
I am near the Pearl Ridge Mall in Aiea and in down town Kailua. I have extensive psychotherapy work history and knowledge of many issues which helps me work with children and individuals with varing life experiences.
