activist. servant leader. pursuer of body liberation.
hello! kumusta!
I'm a licensed psychologist in Hawaiʻi (PSY-2151), National Register Health Service Psychologist, and a Nationally Certified School Psychologist. I graduated from the school psychology doctoral program at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I'm currently serving as Crisis Liaison & Community Trainer for the Hawaiʻi Department of Health Child & Adolescent Mental Health Division. I also lecture in the University of Hawaiʻi System, currently at Hawaiʻi Community College. I’m also co-founder & co-owner of Cinder & Sage Psychology along with Dr. Alexandria King.
I identify as a small-fat, biracial (Filipina+white), able-bodied, queer, cisgender woman. My roots are in rural Arkansas, but heart is scattered across Fayetteville, AR; Richmond, VA; Springfield, MO; Urbania, Italia; Madison, WI; & (especially) the Big Island of Hawai'i.
For fun, I love to pickleball, cook without recipes, enjoy board games with my fabulous partner, tolerate our very cute cat (Catexander Hameowlton), ocean paddle, snorkel, and consume a preposterous amount of audio media.
