My Ideal Client

Haku has experience and strength in working with 2SLGBTQIA+, BIPOC, Chronically sick, Disabled, Neurodiverse, Youth, Individuals, Families, and Communities with a focus on cultural experiences, queer and trans experiences, life transitions, and trauma recovery. Topics within Haku’s scope of practice include: 2SLGBTQIA+, Adjustment, Adolescents, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Chronic illness, Depression, Disabilities, Grief, Life Transitions, Neurodivergence, and Religious Trauma.

My Approach to Helping

Haku’s therapeutic approach is rooted in a relational worldview that centers storytelling as a means to reclaim personal power and honor people’s unique experiences. He does this through narrative therapy, internal family systems, somatic inquiry, and solutions-focused therapy. It can be hard to find the words and language to understand and explain our experiences which is why they enjoy exploring world-building through sand tray, play, and art therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Haku believes in the radical possibilities of change and transformation that exist when we have the safety, trust, and established therapeutic relationship to build towards the new experiences we want and need for ourselves. He views therapy as a practice of collaboration, in trusting people as the experts of their own lives, and of building towards the self-identified skills and experiences that folks would like to explore together, on their own, and in their communities.
