Experience Supportive Couples Therapy in Honolulu
How Couples Therapy in Honolulu Works
Every relationship is unique, so my approach to couples therapy is tailored to fit your specific needs. Here’s how our work together typically unfolds:
Initial Sessions
We’ll start by talking about your relationship history, your current challenges and strengths, along with the goals you have for therapy. These first sessions help us understand where you currently are in your process and what you want to work through, allowing me to get a clearer picture of what your relationship needs.
Identifying Challenges
Through open and more vulnerable discussions, we’ll dive into the core issues in your relationship, such as communication struggles or emotionally reactive patterns. Together, we’ll explore the root of these challenges and how they impact your connection.
Emotional Support
While we work through the bigger picture, I’ll help you address your immediate emotional concerns. We’ll include developing practical tools to help you manage intense emotions as needed to better deepen your communication, and support your relationship. This is about giving you the emotional tools you need to feel supported and to start making progress.
Process-Oriented Therapy
Rather than focusing solely on goals or “quick fixes,” we’ll focus on the process—the journey of gaining deeper insight into your relationship. This is a collaborative process, and together we’ll co-create solutions that fit your unique needs. There won’t be rigid homework assignments or structured tasks but rather space and collaborative work for you to discover and grow together.
Progress and Adjustment
As you begin to gain insight and make progress, we’ll regularly check in to see how things are going. We’ll adjust our approach as needed, ensuring that our work together continues to feel attuned to both of you and supportive of your evolving needs as a couple.

Other Services That We Offer
Personal therapy offers an encouraging place to heal, grow, and change. Individual depth therapy is an opportunity to get to know yourself better, addressing mood, relationship issues, and stress management in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
Therapy is where you can discover and build your inner strength and resilience. By exploring past wounds and learning new ways of coping, you can discover a more fulfilling, empowered life. The journey is about healing, becoming whole, and expressing your true self in the world.
For couples who are ready to put some solid work into their relationship, couples intensives offer an immersive, shorter-term experience designed to foster emotional intimacy and connection. If you find yourselves stuck on the same issue and need extra support to move forward, intensives might be exactly what you need.
These sessions deepen the work you’ve already started, helping you reconnect and learn sustainable skills for a stronger relationship. Whether you want to feel closer, deepen your bond, or resolve a specific issue, couples intensives can provide the intensive support needed to create the deeper and more sustainable change you seek.
ADHDers do best when learning to work with your brain’s support needs and natural ways of processing. In ADHD therapy, we will focus on developing strategies for executive functioning, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. Life can feel overwhelming with constant demands and looming tasks, but therapy can provide the support you need to navigate these challenges.
You will learn how to better manage your time, stay organized, and develop emotional resilience, all while honoring your neurodivergent brain. Together, we’ll foster a greater understanding of yourself and your needs, creating a path to more fulfilling ways of living and relating.
