MEET KIRA

Kira was born on Oʻahu and raised in Honouliuli in ʻEwa.  She graduated from the University of Oregon with a B.A., double majoring in Ethnic Studies and Sociology, then attended the UH Mānoa Myron B. Thompson School of Social Work, earning her MSW with a focus on Behavioral Mental Health. 

 

She is a graduate of the Hawaiian Learning Program, where her kumu/teachers taught her to integrate and adapt culture-based practices in diverse settings to better serve our ʻohana and larger community.  She has most recently worked at the Queen’s Medical Center as a social worker and clinical therapist in both their youth and adult outpatient programs.  She works to incorporate aloha ‘āina, or love of land, into her daily life.

​

Kira is currently being paneled with HMSA, HMAA and UHA insurances.  Please call 808-387-4355 to check availability or to schedule an appointment with her.  Only telehealth appointments are available.
