初めまして。私は英語と日本語の両方を話すバイリンガルセラピストです。
幼少期のトラウマ、自己肯定感の低さ、不安、人間関係の悩みなどを抱える方々へのセラピーを行っております。
将来への不安、自信のなさ、トラウマ、人間関係の悩みなど、「一人ではどうしたらよいかわからない」と感じる時があると思います。そんな時、すべてを一人で抱え込む必要はありません。
セラピーとは「治療」「自分を治す」ものではなく、「自分自身をより深く知る」「自分の傾向を認識する」プロセスです。セッションを通して、幼少期の経験やご自身の感情・思考・行動パターンを整理し、今の自分への理解を深めることで、より生きやすい人生を築いていくお手伝いをしています。
クライアント様のペースを大切にしながら自分らしさを取り戻し、成長や変化へとつながる時間を共に作っていきます。特に以下のようなお悩みをお持ちの方のサポートを得意としています。不安感や自信のなさに悩んでいる方、完璧主義で自分に厳しすぎる傾向のある方、人間関係やパートナーシップに悩んでいる方、アイデンティティや文化的背景による葛藤を抱えている方、また、13歳以下のお子さまとその保護者の方へのサポートにも力を入れています。子育てに関する悩みや、お子さまの行動・感情への向き合い方について、親子それぞれのペースを尊重しながら一緒に考えていきます。お子さまとご家族の背景や価値観を大切にしたセラピーを提供しています。

初めまして。私は在米20年超で、現在ロサンジェルスでカリフォルニア発行のLCSWと言うライセンスの元、心理カウンセリング／セラピーをしています。私自身もそうでしたが、海外に住んでいると知らず知らずのうちに無理をしてしまい、心身共に不調に陥る事も少なくないかもしれません。それに多くの方が日本の家族とは離れて生活しており、頼る人も限られている中頑張っておられます。自分でも気づかないけれど、実際は孤独を感じていたり、何かと不安に思う事も多いかもしれません。海外留学、海外駐在、国際結婚など、アメリカに来られた理由は様々かも知れませんが、日本で育った方特有の悩みや行きづらさがあるように思います。私は現職の前はビジネスの世界に長年いましたので、今までの経験も踏まえ、アメリカで頑張る日本の方のサポートが出来たらと思います。

Imagine feeling lighter, more connected, and on track toward the life you envision. On the outside, you’re balancing work, family, and endless to-do lists, but inside, stress is building, impacting how you feel and connect. If the weight feels like it's pulling you away from the life you want, you're not alone. Therapy offers a space for real change, whether you’re facing unexpected challenges or seeking personal growth. With insight, support, and new strategies, therapy empowers you to take responsibility, build self-awareness, and move toward a more genuine, fulfilling life.

As a Japanese-born therapist, I bring deep understanding of bicultural and cross-cultural experiences.
I became a psychotherapist because I wanted to be "that someone" I always wished I had in my life. Someone who believes in you when you lose hope in yourself, and get stuck in what seems like perpetual darkness. I feel that my job is to help shed the first stream of light into the darkness, so together, we can see the bigger picture. Collaboratively, we'll explore your hopes, dreams, and goals. I will help you navigate, and walk by your side, until you reach them, or you are confident enough to do it alone.

We all know life can be stressful and filled with different challenges that overwhelm us. It is only natural that sometimes you may feel lost and helpless when you try to deal with these matters by yourself, including life transitions, work stress, relationship difficulties, cultural/racial problems and so on. I would like to assist you in navigating your path to better understand these issues, find best ways to manage them, and process your emotions in a safe place, so that you can better yourself and achieve your goals through that experience. In our work together, I will help you to live a more meaningful and joyful life.

Through 40 plus years of experience in the martial arts: Chinese, Japanese, and Afro-Brazilian, we have found deep relevance in the lifestyle of the warrior.
Through a suite of modalities rooted in warrior culture, we work to holistically engage the subconscious mind, body, and soul. This allows us to address relational, emotional, somatic, aspects of the self using aspects of the warrior and cultural arts of Capoeira, Aikido, T'ai chi, Qigong, African and Diasporic dance, and Applied theater.

Therapy has powerful tools with the potential to give you some relief and to dial down the negative moods and challenges that you face. My experience and training help to introduce healthy coping skills to handle the difficult things that you are struggling to change on your own and the additional skill of helping you to learn not just how, but when to use those skills most effectively.

My cross-cultural experiences enable me to understand clients from various cultural backgrounds including Japanese, Chinese, Korean and other Asian/Asian-Americans.
Everyone has an innate ability to enjoy a life balanced with love, work and play. When long-standing issues or unexpected stressors hinder this ability, we need to grow and heal. Family and friends are often supportive, but at times we need someone who listens without letting his/her own needs interfere with our finding the true path to our healing. In psychotherapy, your immediate experience and what is not said, as well as your spoken words are heard. This full listening allows psychotherapists to keep all of your concerns, desires and anxieties in mind.

For over a decade, I have been supporting individuals across the lifespan with culturally sensitive therapy. In addition to helping people work through anxiety and depression, I specialize in working with adults affected by complex trauma and helping them feel safer and more hopeful to create a life worth living. I also support people with marginalized identities to process the stressful impacts of oppression and increase experiences of empowerment and connection. I look forward to helping you identify your values, practice coping strategies, and work toward specific goals to improve your mental health.

If you're reading this, you've probably opened a few profiles and closed the tab without reaching out. That's normal! Choosing a therapist when you're not even sure you "need" one is its own kind of difficult.
A lot of people I work with describe a version of the same thing: things look fine from the outside but something doesn't line up. Grief and anxiety from a divorce, lay-off, or breakup gets folded into a packed schedule. Sadness never got room to breath. Transitions leave them feeling unmoored in ways it's hard to explain.
Grief is something I come back to often, and not just the kind that follows a death.

My clients often come to me to feel seen and heard. They long for a connection they never had before, hoping to share their most intimate stories and conversations with ease, freedom, and without judgment. If you are dealing with personal issues you wish to explore in depth and in private, I provide a confidential space to explore your internal world together. As an EMDR therapist drawing from psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other evidence-based modalities, I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for those who are open to exploring new ways of thinking and behavior.

I care about others and want to help people better understand the power of their emotions as an empowering tool to live a better life, for themselves and others in society and the communities we may be from. Mental health stigma is apparent in society, it is a mission statement for me to support in breaking stigma. I come from a multicultural immigrant and BIPOC/API background; serving this populations and the mental health challenges they may be facing in America is meaningful work to me.

Hello and welcome! As an Asian-American therapist, I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals with diverse intersecting identities and life experiences as they navigate their unique journeys toward self-discovery and healing.
Many of the clients I work with are deeply sensitive, thoughtful, and attuned, yet find themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves in ways that can be difficult to name. The therapy space is an opportunity to slow down and gently explore the context of what feels heavy or conflicting within, while building the tools to move through life with greater clarity and acceptance.
