About Michele
Born and educated in Hawai'i, Michele has worked in addiction, education, and mental health across the islands. Her practice emphasizes understanding how culture and local context shape people’s struggles and strengths. She uses what works for each person rather than one fixed method.
Her approach blends client-centered work with skills-based techniques. That means she listens closely, then introduces exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people build emotional regulation and stress tolerance.
Michele has three years of experience in the role described in the supplied context and holds an LCSW credential. She often addresses issues such as grief, relationship problems, parenting stress, caregiver strain, codependency, and gender identity concerns. Practical, step-by-step plans are a common part of her sessions.
