About me

Hi! My name is Kristy! I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Kaneohe, Hawaii. Living in Hawaii, I have had the privilege of being exposed to such a melting pot of diversity. My clinical experiences have helped me to be able to work with not only multi-cultural but also multi-generational populations. I have experience with Positive Parent Education, Domestic Violence/ Intimate Partner Violence, Relationship Issues, Divorce, Coping Skills, Behavioral Issues, and life transition. My training and education have provided me with various therapeutic techniques and methodologies. I do favor some theories more than others, such as, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy. However, I believe that, even though I may be an expert in certain areas of therapeutic knowledge, I am not the expert of my client’s life. They are! Therefore, when I work with clients, I believe it is a collaborative journey and I will walk alongside them. I absolutely love seeing the positive outcomes in my client’s lives. If we decide to do this journey together, this is what a you may expect from me. I provide a safe and nurturing space to help you become the best version of yourself. I am non-judgmental, compassionate, a good listener, a teacher, collaborator, and I always have your best interest in mind. I will be someone that roots for you, encourages you, occasionally may be humorous, and offers insight to view a situation differently than you have viewed it. To help you look through a situation with a new lens. I would like to hear more of your story and unique experience so we can decide if it would be a good therapeutic fit. I look forward to chatting with you!
