First licensed in 1984 in the State of Hawaii
License Number: PSY-307
For your own information, the higher a psychologist's license number, the more recently did he or she get the license.
Hawaii psychologists who were licensed between 2017-2019, for
example, will have license numbers in the 1600 to 1800's range or
thereabouts.
It is a GOOD IDEA to check the status of any psychologist you are
considering consulting. There have been instances of people with
doctoral degrees in psychology, practicing without a license. This is
illegal.
You can verify my status (and that of many other professionals
who are required to be licensed by the State of Hawaii) by contacting the:
