About Calming Mind Counseling
Welcome to Calming Mind Counseling, LLC.
Here you will find compassionate professionals who love connecting with clients and helping people live their best lives. We are a mental health therapy business located in Maui, Hawaii, offering online therapy for clients in both Hawaii and Colorado. Some of the benefits of online therapy are that you can join a virtual meeting from the comfort of your own home, not having to travel or figure out parking, saving you time and money. We work with many clients across these two beautiful states and see clients in person in Lahaina and Kihei on the island of Maui.
Welcome to our page,
where you can learn a little more about us!

Who I Am
I am a peaceful, humorous presence with an interest in spirituality, philosophy, movies, music, art, and nature. I believe experiencing peak moments allows us to connect to the environment around us in meaningful ways. I am my best self when I’m at the beach and in the ocean.
I am a former future Buddhist monk who believes we’re all at our best when we’re relaxed, laughing, and not taking ourselves or the world too seriously.
I am committed to creating a warm, welcoming, supportive space in which all your identities can truly be seen, heard, and accepted, including cultural background, gender and sexual identity, socioeconomic status, ability, military affiliation, and religious/spiritual orientation.
I believe that kindness, non-judgement, and unconditional positive regard are the keys to establishing genuine human connection, self-awareness, and growth towards your own individual goals.
My Professional Training and Experience
I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Social Work from Colorado State University and have over 5 years’ experience serving our community’s mental health needs in a wide variety of settings, from the CSU Counseling Center to a 24-hour community crisis center.

Who I Am
I am a family person, who identifies as Bisexual and/or Queer. I’m married to a wonderful partner and have two amazing children. I’m a huge animal lover and will try to cuddle with just about all of them!
I am the Owner, Manager, and Clinical Supervisor here at Calming Mind Counseling. I handle the operational management and clinical supervision of our team, while ensuring our practice provides a nurturing, safe, and effective environment for clients to heal. I am committed to fostering a supportive, calming space for clients by ensuring high quality care, and staff by maintaining work life balance and making sure the professionals here are well supported.
My Professional Training and Experience
I graduated from Colorado State University with a bachelor’s degree and went to the University of Denver for my Master’s in Clinical Social Work. I previously worked at Colorado State University and developed a passion for working with underrepresented students. In my work at CSU, I organized events, led workshops, worked one on one with students, and heard so many amazing student stories of challenge and triumph. This led me into management and supervision work at Calming Mind Counseling. I started this business in 2019, and look forward to welcoming more Counseling Interns as we grow.

Who I Am
I am a compassionate, caring person who loves being outside and spending time with loved ones (especially the four-legged kind). I believe that the littlest things in life truly bring us the greatest joy! For myself, that usually means hanging out with my husband and our rescue dog, Daisy.
I love to work with children and adolescents to help build coping skills, emotional awareness, and confidence. With adults, I specialize in EMDR and provide trauma-informed care to clients facing anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
My Professional Training and Experience
I am a graduate student at Northwestern University working toward becoming a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I’ve always been fascinated by the human experience and find so much fulfillment in helping others feel seen, heard, and understood. I previously worked in community mental health for three years before coming to Calming Mind Counseling and private practice.
I value building meaningful connections with people from all walks and stages of life. I feel especially passionate about supporting children and individuals who experience discrimination or institutional barriers to living life to the fullest. I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, valued, and empowered to be their most authentic selves. I draw from person-centered therapy, CBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed approaches to support individuals navigating mental health challenges.
