Hey, I'm Marikka
I help women and couples deal with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures. This often takes the form of anxiety, increased stress, overwhelm, and low self-esteem. Helping you navigate these transition periods to develop a more positive outlook that helps discover the necessary tools within and around you to reach and maintain balance.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oahu, Hawaii, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with women and couples and specialize in anxiety, stress, and life transitions. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I believe that as the client, you are the expert of your life and I am here to help you reach your goals. Using a solution-focused model blended with other evidence-based and holistic modalities, with a focus on the here and now, you will learn the coping skills, tools, and resources so that you can graduate from therapy!
My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together as a team to create a personalized plan around what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust between us, gaining clarity around your intentions/ motivations for therapy, and then creating realistic, attainable goals.
Please feel free to reach out. I look forward to chatting with you.
