Many of the people I work with hold marginalized identities and come from immigrant or cross-cultural families with a history of complex trauma. My style is warm, engaged, thoughtful and practical. I tailor a unique blend of talk therapy, parts work, mindfulness-based and somatic practices to meet you where you are, and use a signature cocktail of humor and honesty to both support and challenge you. I also draw from various depth and wisdom traditions that honor dreams, images, words and sounds, synchronicities, and the body as intelligent and important ways of knowing.

I work with adolescents, adults, and families navigating life transitions, trauma recovery, and significant life events. Many of my clients are coping with anxiety, depression, relational challenges, or the impact of acute or complex trauma. I offer a space to deepen self-awareness, stay action-oriented toward meaningful change, and reconnect with your values, goals, and sense of self.
My approach is relational, strengths-based, and psychodynamic, with an emphasis on the body’s role in healing. I integrate Somatic Experiencing and mindfulness-based practices to support nervous system regulation and embodied insight.

Have you ever felt life drifting in a direction you never intended, leaving you unsure where to begin, or how to find your way back to yourself? Or noticed your child or teen is overwhelmed, withdrawn, or struggling to adapt to a new school or peer group? Maybe you’ve noticed big feelings showing up in ways that are hard to understand or manage.
All people deserve to feel safe within their minds and bodies. Yet difficult experiences and life transitions can make that sense of safety feel out of reach. I specialize in supporting individuals ages 10 and up as they navigate anxiety, depression, and the lingering impact of trauma.

Life can feel overwhelming, isolating, or riddled with anxiety and depression. Perhaps things feel stuck and you are seeking a change and want more out of life. Early adulthood is a particularly challenging time. It can be difficult to challenge the perceptions of the world shaped by our families and upbringing, while maintaining the shared connections and values. It is a time to explore racial, sexual, and gender identities. A task made more complicated when layered with neurodiversity, trauma, grief, or a life circumstance that makes you feel different. Therapy can offer a sense of insight, stability, and self-acceptance.

Let’s be honest — life can be a lot sometimes. Whether you’re overwhelmed, over it, or just trying to figure out what’s next, you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life transitions, women’s issues, and perinatal mental health. Whether you’re adjusting to a new role, juggling motherhood, or just trying to figure out who you are right now, this is a space where you can land, breathe, and be yourself. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and sometimes a little lighthearted because let’s face it — life’s too real to be serious all the time.

My clients are often navigating life transitions, questions of identity and belonging, caregiving, grief, relationship challenges, or a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we create space to better understand patterns, reconnect with what matters most, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and meaningful. I especially enjoy working with queer, BIPOC, Japanese American, and bicultural adults, and I offer therapy in both English and Japanese.

In our fast-paced society that rarely affords us the opportunity for introspection, I believe that therapy becomes the space in our lives where we can slow down, reflect, and tune into the wisdom residing within our bodies and our hearts. I am committed to co-creating this space where you may understand yourself more lovingly, connect with what you truly want and need, and create lasting change and peace in your life. We will celebrate your strengths as well as locate the fears, obstacles, and outgrown narratives keeping you from embodying your most authentic self.

I have 15+ years of experience working with individuals and couples who have experienced trauma, both directly and indirectly. My specialty is those going through a loss, suffered emotional trauma, or are victims of violence. Unaddressed individual trauma can often lead to anxiety, depression and difficulties in developing / maintaining loving relationships. Couples can struggle with unhealthy patterns of communication and need alternative tools to better understand each other. With a warm, collaborative, and evidence-based approach I support clients facing issues such as anxiety, grief, life changes and relationship challenges.

I am currently accepting clients on Mondays. If you have experienced past physical or sexual abuse, neglect, or trauma it likely has shaped the way you think about yourself and the world. Sometimes a very difficult experience from the past, or a series of experiences, continues to impact us long after the event itself. It can make it difficult to trust yourself or others, control your emotions and reactions to events, and can keep your body and nervous system on high alert. For many, it can interfere with daily life in the form of racing thoughts, rumination, anxiety, depression, or panic attacks.

In our first session together we will engage in introductions and then dive in to an assessment of what brings you to therapy. I will explore with you different areas of your life to identify life stressors that may be influencing the presenting problem. I will provide education where it is needed and discuss limits to confidentiality. We will also explore any past experiences you have with therapy, coping strategies and insight you've developed regarding the presenting problem. This will help us later set goals and identify the best approach to addressing challenges.

I work with individuals and couples in any stage of relationship. If we work together, my goal is to help you access and understand the root causes of your struggles so you can truly heal.
