I am a clinical psychologist in Brooklyn, NY. I have been providing psychotherapy, couple’s counseling, and family therapy. I am also a director of Mobile Crisis Service and psychological/neuropsychological testing supervisor at New York Health + Hospitals. I have worked with children and adults with a wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, addiction, and cognitive difficulties. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy and use integrative approach with other holistic and creative modalities.

I specialize with working younger adults who are struggling in school or at work. Transitioning to high school, college, or a new job is a stressful process. Feelings of anxiety, depression and self-doubt get in the way of thriving and excelling at school or at work. When struggling with anxiety and depression, often the quality of sleep, diet, and exercise are also poor. Relationships with friends and family are strained, as feelings of depression and anxiety make them stuck and prevent them from enjoying the world around them. Clients want to break free, and feel joy, satisfaction, and contentment. Clients want to live life happy.

I welcome your interest and courage to search for a psychotherapist to work on the challenges you have in your daily life. I look forward to work together to help you explore, confront and transform the difficulties you have. There are reasons that you are experiencing the challenges and we can explore them together to see clearly where they are coming from and how they might be unconsciously impeding you from changes or reaching your goals. Changes are more likely to occur when this happens.

I can help you when you are: Feeling depressed, sad, panicky or anxious. Having difficulty with work/school, breaking up a relationship or seeking how to repair a relationship. Just wanting to be heard and understood. Seeking to make positive transitions, self-growth and improve yourself. I offer: Psychotherapy that can be the best for "YOU". Psychological insights, help find ways to cope with stress and best solutions. Finding a perfect therapist is a courageous important first step to achieving your goal! My practice is located in NYC, Westchester and Long Island. I will respond your inquiry within 24 hours.

It doesn't have to be that way. I am here to help. Let me tell you a little bit about my background. I am Japanese but have been living in the United States for more than thirty years. I am a trained psychoanalyst and for more than 20 years have been practicing psychotherapy.

Hypnosis is not controlling people, as is often depicted in the movies. Hypnosis is an effective scientific technique that puts your brain function at a maximum level to help you best solve your troubled issues. In a subconscious/hypnotized state, you can recall any information even though it is deeply buried in your mind. With your subconscious mind, you can simply understand information that is given to you better than ever. Your subconscious mind gives the strongest support to your own will to overcome dieting or quitting smoking. It works, so I shifted my career to an emphasis on hypnotherapy.
