You don’t feel ready for what you’re going through. You may be facing hardship because of gender role non-conformity, capitalist abuses, queerness, poverty, racism, classism, misogyny, ageism, adultism. You are feeling more pain around being marginalized than pride in who you are. The feeling of “not - enough” is your long-time companion. The search for an identity that you can claim with confidence is a source of pain and confusion. You struggle to show-up for yourself in the face of perfectionism and White Body Supremacy that erases and destroys your uniqueness. You’ve frequently felt yourself to be an imposter.
Hi! My name is Amy Aiko and I'm a Queer fourth-gen Japanese American biracial person and a rostered somatic psychotherapist. I will support you as a practical, openminded skeptic, to separate the difference between your thoughts, your bodily sensations, the story you tell yourself, and the feelings that affect you.
This opens up space for you to get a glimpse of something incredible inside yourself you never knew was there. It can be like the sensation of synchronicity with your elder, wiser self. By leaning into therapy as an experimenter of your own life, you can experience your thought patterns changing before your eyes.
