FAQs

I’m physically located on the island of Maui. As I am licensed in the states of California and Hawaii, but at this time due to scheduling conflicts can only accept clients located in California.

I live and provide therapy in Hawaii to meet mental health needs of the community. I also provide therapy to residents of California as I feel very connected to both Northern California (I grew up in San Francisco) and Southern California (I have immediate family in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Riverside). Both states provide a diverse population of folks with mental health needs that I am able to connect with and support.

Yes, I welcome and affirm clients of all gender identities and expressions, including women, men, and those across the gender spectrum. As a cisgender woman, I recognize the importance of finding a therapist who feels like the right fit, especially for clients who identify differently than myself or anywhere on the gender/nonbinary spectrum. I have experience working with diverse clients, though I don’t position myself as an expert. My commitment is to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive space for anyone who feels safe to work with me.

Your first appointment will be considered an initial session that is a little different from the following weekly/bi-weekly sessions. I will ask a bit about your history (informed by an online intake form you will complete prior to the session), we will establish your therapy goals, and get to know each other to establish trust, safety, and boundaries.

At this time, I’m not able to provide in person sessions.

This answer will depend on a lot of factors but primarily depends on your goals, trust in our relationship, and trust in the process. Some clients focus on many goals at once, some clients focus on one at a time. Once goals are established and met, we can discuss if you would like to continue to the practice of somatic/parts work therapy to tend to new goals or if you would like to pause or end therapy. Most clients continue in long term therapy to have a regular self-care practice and for those that don’t, they know they can return at anytime if it feels appropriate.

I’m happy to work with clients who have multiple sources of therapy at once.
