About Georgianne
Georgianne holds a Master of Social Work with a child and family concentration and a Master of Special Education with an applied behavior analysis concentration. She is licensed in Hawaii and brings eight years of clinical experience, plus nearly two decades in social services, to her work. That background gives her broad exposure to common family and life stresses.
Her style begins with a simple, honest conversation about what matters to the client. She keeps sessions nonjudgmental and focused on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Georgianne emphasizes collaboration and helps people identify goals they want to work toward.
She draws from well-known methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness practices. These tools are used to reduce unhelpful thoughts, increase values-driven action, and manage strong emotions. Dialectical skills and motivational interviewing ideas also appear when they fit the client’s needs.
Georgianne has helped people with parenting, family conflict, adoption and foster care concerns, addiction, grief, chronic illness, and work stress. She encourages clear communication and realistic changes that fit daily life. If someone is ready to take a first step, she supports them in deciding what that step looks like.
