I have experience with adults, teens, and couples to improve their interpersonal relationships and create balance and stability. I can also work with teams corporate and industrial teams to increase emotional intelligence, cohesion & performance, and safety. I obtained his BSc of Psychology from Texas A&M University (’87) then obtained my Master of Clinical Psychology (’03) after working for a decade with adults with intellectual disabilities and adults with chronic mental illness. I continued his post-graduate studies through Capella University to help build knowledge and perspectives for his work in private practice where he specialized in rehabilitative counseling with court ordered clients dealing with family violence issues. I currently work full time as a contractor for the Departments of the Navy and Air Force at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam. Prior to this amazing opportunity, I owned Caledonia Counseling (2005-2022), based in the Denver area, after completing his graduate school and offered contract services to other agencies and community mental health providers. My practice focused on rehabilitative counseling with court-ordered clients trying to break the cycle of violence in the relationships and families. It is my mission in life to help make the world a more peaceful and safer place.

Life transitions, emotional overwhelm, difficult relationships, and inner self-doubt can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and uncertain about the future. Many people come to me after years of trying to hold everything together while quietly struggling underneath the surface. You may appear “fine” on the outside while internally feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck, anxious, disconnected, or unsure of your next step. You don’t have to navigate that alone. I provide a compassionate, supportive, and judgment-free space where clients can slow down, gain clarity, process emotional challenges, and reconnect with themselves in a more grounded and authentic way. My coaching style is intuitive, practical, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based. Together, we work to better understand the patterns, stress, beliefs, and life experiences that may be impacting your confidence, relationships, emotional well-being, or sense of direction. Whether you are navigating a life transition, relationship challenges, burnout, career uncertainty, or simply feeling lost or overwhelmed, my goal is to help you move forward with greater self-awareness, resilience, confidence, and inner balance. Meaningful change begins from the inside out—and you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Honolulu's surface image as a paradise can obscure significant mental health challenges tied to Hawaii's extreme cost of living — among the highest in the United States — the stress of geographic isolation, and the psychological weight carried by Native Hawaiian communities navigating cultural loss and historical trauma. The city has a majority Asian and Pacific Islander population, including large Japanese, Filipino, and Native Hawaiian communities, and culturally competent therapists who understand Pacific Islander family values and collectivist systems are especially sought after. Tripler Army Medical Center serves the military population across the Pacific Command, while The Queen's Medical Center provides civilian institutional mental health resources. Therapist availability in Honolulu is lower relative to comparable mainland metros, and telehealth has become important for residents seeking specialist matching beyond what is available locally.
