I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who believes that healing begins with safety, curiosity, and compassion. My work integrates evidence-based approaches with a deep respect for each person’s unique story and inner wisdom. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges, I provide a grounded, empathetic space to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward meaningful change. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Depth Psychology, and Solution-Focused Therapy to support transformation on both emotional and practical levels. Our work together blends insight with action—combining gentle exploration with concrete tools for growth and self-understanding. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families who are ready to move beyond old patterns and toward more secure connection, confidence, and peace. My goal is to help you cultivate a sense of Self energy—calm, clarity, and compassion—so you can live from your center, experience greater contentment, and bring your gifts more fully into the world.

Hi, I’m a licensed therapist, clinical supervisor, and the proud owner of Sunshine Holistic Health. With two Ivy League degrees — an M.Phil. in Professional Counseling and an M.S.Ed. in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania — I bring both extensive clinical expertise and a compassionate, holistic approach to the work I do. I specialize in supporting individuals who are ready to invest in their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. My practice is built on the belief that healing happens when we care for the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — and create space for people to reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or relationship challenges, I’m here to provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where you can grow and heal at your own pace. In addition to individual therapy, I offer clinical supervision and mentoring for fellow therapists, helping them develop their skills while honoring their own self-care and professional growth. At Sunshine Holistic Health, my goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where clients feel truly seen, valued, and empowered to live the lives they deserve.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Hawaii rather than a city like Honolulu?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Hawaii from Pearl City to Hilo! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Hawaii.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
