Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be anxious, irritable, or excessively worried. You may have difficulty focusing, making you feel unmotivated and unproductive. You may be overly critical of yourself or loved ones and are experiencing challenges in relationships. The good news is that you have the resources you need to overcome those challenges. I have seen many people make positive changes, and I’m here to help you do the same.
I’m a bilingual (Japanese), bicultural psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in working with people from various backgrounds. I treat issues that make your life difficult, with a specialization in relationship issues, anxiety, and stress management.
You've taken the first step towards healing and growth. I welcome people from all backgrounds. Feel free to email me for an initial consultation. I offer sessions both online and in-person.
