Feeling Stuck Even After Therapy? A Deeper Approach to Healing.

You’ve been in therapy before. You have insight. You’ve talked through the patterns, the history, the “why” behind it all—and still, something feels stuck.

There’s a sense that something isn’t quite landing. And maybe, at times, you’ve wondered: Is this as good as it gets?

But another part of you knows that’s not true.

There’s a part of you that still longs. That still hopes. That senses there is something deeper—more healing, more movement, more possibility.

Maybe you’re even a therapist yourself. You’ve done the thinking, the analyzing, the understanding… and somehow, it’s still not enough.

You’ve tried different modalities, but none of them quite fit. You’re looking for something more—something that actually meets you where you are right now.

Hi, I’m Kalani.

I draw from approaches like IFS, Brainspotting, somatics, attachment-based, relational, and psychodynamic work—but I don’t stay confined to any one model. I have worked to incorporate these tools and ideas and use them outside of the traditional therapy box.

Our work is intuitive, collaborative, and deeply attuned to your system. Together, we pay close attention to what’s actually happening inside you, and we create something new. Something tailored specifically to you.

Clients often tell me it feels like something that’s been stuck for a long time finally shifts. Like the furniture in the living room has been rearranged in a way they didn’t even know was possible.

And suddenly, things feel different. Suddenly things feel anew.

Work with Me

Therapy for Depression

Approach

My work integrates:

Attachment-based psychotherapy
Nervous-system and somatic approaches
Parts work (IFS-informed)
Brainspotting
Depth-oriented and relational therapy

These approaches allow therapy to address both the psychological and physiological layers of experience—supporting healing that is integrated, sustainable, and deeply personal.

Therapy for Life Transitions

Entering a therapeutic relationship takes real strength and courage. I do not take this lightly. With my clients I take a respectful and collaborative approach maintaining that my clients are the experts of their experience. I am deeply curious, direct, and value humor and being playful when appropriate.

My approach is rooted in utilizing a relational approach and looking at the whole person within the context of their life, culture, and lineage, as well as the broader culture and social structures that can impinge on our ability to feel fully, and maintain a curiosity about ourselves, how we came to be, and where we consciously want to go.

“My teenage son and I started working with Kalani to help us understand and resolve intense conflicts that we were happening on a regular basis on school mornings. Our family had also recently been through a divorce, and I wanted my son to have extra space and help processing that experience. Kalani's compassion, humor and patient steering helped both of us reconnect and resolve these regular disputes within a few sessions, and we continued working with him both 1:1 and together for many months to further understand each other and strengthen our relationship.”
“I've had a few therapists over the years. I would tell myself I just needed to talk through this one specific issue or another, and then I'd stop. I found Kalani when I realized maybe I had more than just one or two specific issues to work through, ha! Still, I had trouble opening up completely for a long time. Kalani had a knack for always meeting me wherever I was, matching my energy, and knowing when I really needed a good probing question and when I just needed some space. He created such a safe environment for me that I was finally able to remove the mask I'd carried with me throughout my life, and remove it not only during our sessions but in my daily interactions with others. I feel my most authentic self these days: not perfect, still "a couple" of issues to work through, but I've made more progress than I imagined and feel better in ways I didn't know I could. Kalani would say that I did the hard work, but I credit him for creating the reprieve in which I could do that work. I can't thank him or recommend him enough!”
“Kalani is a skilled, caring, and insightful therapist. I had the great fortune to have his help during one of the most difficult years of my life. He was able to support my long-overdue processing of decades-old family trauma and then seamlessly pivot to help me through a difficult and painful recovery from total knee replacement. Kalani offered a safe space, gentle curiosity, thoughtful observations, and consistent engagement in my stories and struggles. He commiserated with me, asking spot-on questions; helped me see things in new ways; and celebrated my progress. I feel so much gratitude for his help and am comforted to know that this kind person is a part of my world.”
“Thank you for all of your help this year. You're part of the reason why they smile so much again. I feel like I have my kid back.”
