I am licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alaska with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
My therapy style and approach mainly draws from Meaning Centered Psychotherapy with a Psychodynamic and Person-Centered focus. I utilize different modalities from Positive Psychology; Mindfulness; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT); Strength-Based Therapy to empower my clients to face challenges and overcome problems they have.
It takes a lot of power and courage to work toward a more fulfilling and happier life. I am here for you if you are ready to take that step and you feel I would be a good fit for you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
She cares. You, and what you're going through matters to her. She will definitely put forth the extra effort.
Great therapist. Knows what type of questions to ask.
From the first session, she's been very reassuring in being an active and thoughtful listener. No pressure on your part to convey information or feel uncertain about sharing personal details about your past. This is coming from someone who's never done therapy before, and I have to say it's been such a relief to speak with a professional who takes the time to understand your position. I found her insights to be life-changing and thought-provoking. There are techniques I continue to exercise to this day. If you've ever had trouble speaking with a professional because they made you feel misunderstood, unheard, or gave negative reception, I highly recommend Ku'upuamakamae Nalua'i. She's both professional and wonderful to work with.
Very easy going and easy to talk to. I definitely felt very comfortable talking about almost any topic! I appreciated all the help I received.
This has been the third therapist I’ve spoken with. She really connects with you when you speak with them. She’s attentive and will push you to fight for yourself through the hard and easy. I’m really enjoying our sessions.
