Hi, I’m Christine!

Living with OCD or anxiety can feel overwhelming and isolating – but you don’t have to face it alone. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist based in Hawai’i and I specialize in helping individuals and families break free from the cycles of worry, fear, and compulsions using evidenced-based, compassionate care. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, you’re in the right place.

I help individuals and families break free from the grip of OCD and anxiety using effective, evidence-based approaches like ERP, CBT, and ACT – all grounded in culturally mindful care and island-based support. Whether you’re on O’ahu or our neighbor islands, I offer targeted treatment for OCD and anxiety that goes beyond talk therapy – designed to help you or your loved one find lasting relief.

What I Offer

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold standard for OCD treatment. I offer structured, supportive care tailored to each person’s needs.

  • Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, school avoidance. I help keiki, teens, and adults build tools that work.

  • I provide specialized treatment for hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (excoriation), and related behaviors, using science-based approaches like Habit Reversal Training (HRT) and ComB.

  • I offer supportive, judgement-free therapy to help individuals manage clutter, reduce distress, and make sustainable changes. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral strategies with motivational support and skill-building.

  • I offer secure online sessions throughout our neighbor islands as well as in-person sessions on O’ahu.

  • Parenting a child with anxiety, OCD or BFRB related behaviors can be incredibly challenging. I offer guidance, support, and skills that empower families.

Why Work with Me?

Why Work with Me?

I specialize in OCD, anxiety, hoarding disorder, and BFRBs. This is the heart of my clinical work and my expertise.

I use evidenced-based approaches like ERP,CBT, ACT, and HRT that are structured, transparent and focused on meaningful progress.

My work is rooted in respect, trust, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity.

Although I was not born and raised in Hawai’i, I am deeply honored to live and practice here. I approach my work with cultural humility and a sincere commitment to honoring the values of aloha, kuleana, and pono in my relationships with the communities I am privileged to serve.

Ma ka hana ka’ike. In working, one learns. I remain committed to listening, learning, and growing in service to the people and communities of Hawai’i.
