I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in individual, couples and family therapy, and maintain a private practice in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.

With over 18 years experience as a marriage and family therapist I currently have the honor of working with a broad spectrum of clients and treating a range of presenting issues such as infidelity, issues surrounding military life, depression, anxiety, and poor communication in interpersonal relationships.

In addition to being a prominent relationship therapist, I have presented at numerous conferences and appeared on several syndicated talk shows.

I am an interactive, solution-focused, and "marriage friendly" therapist. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and effective feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. By integrating complementary methodologies and techniques, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client and situation. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
