My approach is eclectic but intentional — grounded in relational, attachment-based, and trauma-informed frameworks. Whether I'm working with an individual, a family navigating a major transition, a healthcare team, or an organization going through change, the work is always tailored to the specific people and systems in the room.

I am proud of my strong rapport-building skills. Whether you're new to therapy, new to working with a consultant, or entirely unsure what you need — I do my best to create a space where trust can build naturally and people feel at ease enough to do real work.

I believe in collaboration and authenticity. The time we spend together — in a therapy room, a training, or a consultation — should model the kind of honest, supportive engagement that makes change possible everywhere else.

I am trained as a Creative Arts Therapist and bring embodied, experiential approaches to everything I do. Whether that's integrating movement and creativity into therapy or designing trainings that get learning into the body not just the brain — I believe some things have to be felt to change.

I have extensive experience working with neurodivergence — drawing on psychoeducation, professional expertise, and personal experience. I help individuals, teams, and organizations understand and work with the many different ways people process, communicate, and make meaning of their experiences.

Kekoa means warrior in Polynesian — I want every space I work in to be a place where people connect to their own capacity and feel confident accessing their strengths. Ask me more about the story of Kekoa when we meet.

My therapy office is located above the State Theatre in the heart of Portland's Arts District. I love the wisdom, charm, artistry and entrepreneurship that inhabits the building — and I bring that same spirit to all of my work, wherever it happens.

Everything I do is trauma-informed. Whether I'm supporting an individual, a family, or an organization — my primary focus is creating a safe, holding environment where you are the expert of your own experience and I am a guest in it.

I work at the intersection of individuals and the systems around them — because that's where the real challenges live. My services span individual therapy, aging specialist consultation, healthcare and organizational trainings, business consulting, and immigration mental health evaluations.

The past several years have reshaped how all of us live, work, and relate to one another. Collective trauma, rapid change, and systemic pressure have touched every individual, family, and organization in unique ways. My work — across all its forms — is a place where that complexity can be met with curiosity, honesty, and care.
