My Commitment
I am committed to serving those in need. I believe everyone deserves access to authentic, compassionate, high-quality therapeutic care.
I created the Live & Love Well Scholarship Program for individuals and couples in need of financial assistance.
Clients are served on a first come, first serve basis, based on my availability. I ask new applicants to complete all relevant paperwork, and to communicate care needs clearly; if there is not current availability you will be referred to another program within or near your community that provides discount psychological services.

The Live & Love Well Scholarship Program provides individuals and couples with a discounted rate based on annual household income. Applicants are required to apply for the Live & Love Well Scholarship Program, this includes providing income verification. Scholarships are granted for 6-months and revisited biannually. Should you find yourself in a different financial position prior to review, please inform me so another individual can access fee-reduced, quality care.
Statements & Insurance
Detailed service statements arrive securely by email on a monthly basis. As always, I strongly encourage insured patients to inquire with their insurance companies about out-of-network benefits. If your insurance plan includes these benefits, I will ensure that all relevant services and diagnostic codes needed to seek reimbursement from your carrier are included in the statement. Many clients receive supplementary financial relief by taking these additional steps to fully utilize their benefits.
Identifying Financial Need
Below, you will find a chart that allows you to identify your scholarship qualification based on annual household income and the 2021 Census Bureau Median Family Income based on Family Size for the State of Hawaii; these guidelines assist clinics across the country in identifying and supporting individuals and families who are eligible for financial assistance from the medical community.
