Meet Cathy Okumura
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I believe in utilizing one’s strengths as a source of healing and building upon one’s capacities to sustain positive changes. My approach focuses on all aspects of a person’s wellbeing including emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual aspects. I work with individuals and couples to manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, trauma, while targeting improvements in interpersonal relationships, personal goals, and individual growth.
A number of emotions can arise with life experiences and we can learn to manage them, leading to a more fulfilling life. Together, we will aim to establish new ways of thinking, explore different ways of solving problems, and determine how to sustain these changes.
I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology and have experience in a variety of settings including working with people with developmental disabilities, a Hawaiian social work organization, and with families in need of supportive services. I am also bilingual in conversational Tagalog.
