My Approach to Helping
Aloha!
The Promise of life is love, joy, and peace. Yet, often life is just the opposite. We experience, hurt, rejection, loneliness, fears, disappointments, and or difficult relationships which makes it difficult to function in healthy ways.
Life is not easy. Did you know that you are not meant to be on this journey alone?
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Hawaii.
Please contact me, if you are looking for a Christ-centered perspective to navigate your real-life issues.
I look forward to meeting you! Heidi
