You’re living one version of your life, but something inside keeps reaching for another. Maybe it shows up as a quiet frustration, a sadness you can’t quite name, or a sense that the person you present to the world doesn’t fully reflect who you are. That space between where you are and where you want to be is often where our work begins—and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I’m a Master of Psychotherapy student at the University of Guelph, working with individuals, couples, and families. I draw from Narrative, Collaborative-Dialogic, and Solution-Focused approaches, staying flexible and responsive to you. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and support meaningful, lasting change.
My work with Indigenous survivors of sexual exploitation taught me to see people as more than what has happened to them. As a Japanese Canadian who has navigated identity, I understand its complexity. Outside therapy, I’m curious and grounded by travel, relationships, animals, Japanese culture, and a lot of Bravo TV.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. As a Japanese Canadian who struggled with identity growing up, I relate personally to the weight of navigating layered identities — and while my experiences differ from those I've worked with, they allow me to empathize with and connect to identity struggles of many kinds.

I often draw on Solution-Focused and Narrative Therapy in my work, creating a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we'll gently explore the strengths, skills, and inner resources you already carry, and how these can help you move through the challenges or patterns that may be holding you back.
