I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor in Hawaii with over 17 years experience in crisis intervention, mental health therapy and ICU social work. I focus on high-risk self-harm, LGBTQ+, sexuality, and substance use. I provide psychotherapy via telehealth to adult individuals and couples through a lens of harm reduction while using solution-focused brief therapy, CBT, and ego psychology. As a sex-positive gay man, I understand that emotional distress and self-destructive behavior are often the result of external factors like boundary violations, feeling misunderstood, or oppression. Let's embark on this journey of finding your peace so you can start living your best life!
