Sometimes the ground beneath your feet disappears, and you feel like you’re looking down on yourself moving through life. Other times, you may feel so isolated like nobody else understands you. You may crack a smile when someone tells you a joke, but inside you don’t feel like you can enjoy the laugh. Moving through life like a ghost, detached from the world or unable to be around others at all. You spend hours trying to encourage yourself to get out of bed, lethargic, yet when you go to sleep at night it feels like your mind is in a never-ending loop of thoughts. You can tell it is impacting close relationships.

I am an art therapist, certified Brainspotting (neuroexperiential) consultant, death doula, yoga teacher. I explore embodiment as interpersonal and collective liberation practice, to enrich our relations with our ancestors and blood memories. I look for field science and the unsaid (lived experiences), over evidence-based research.
Neuroexperiential approach partners with the uncertainty of our infinite human potential. We co-regulate through the process of uncovering your unconscious, nuanced patterns, memories, beliefs around connection, change, loss and trust.
Every life is born to dream, build, transition and grow.

I identify as a 1st generation Japanese American, able bodied, gay, cisgender male.
All of us yearn for a sense of belonging, and it is human to feel lonely due to issues we may be facing in life. Feeling alone can have a detrimental impact not only to our mental/emotional health, but also physical health. I'm here to support you in your mental health journey and working towards a better quality of life. I strive for social justice and am attuned to the impacts and influences of society and culture. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed and harm reduction lens, meaning I’m sensitive to the past experiences that have shaped you into who you are today while working in a collaborative approach.

I have also served clients from Black and Latino communities for close to six years, and I speak Japanese and Spanish.
One of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves is the time and space for healing and growth. In therapy, my goal is to help you find and nurture your authentic nature, and to honor the wisdom gained from your lived experiences. Our work will consider the various intersecting aspects of your identity and the social, professional, and other cultural contexts in which you exist. I believe that as you experience yourself holistically, on your own and with guidance, you can naturally open yourself to more opportunities for healing, connection, growth, and other meaningful change.

When our boundaries are violated and we need to be assertive, we often feel anxious, uncomfortable or stressed out. When we have good or bad life changes, it is easy to get lost and confused about ourselves. Sometimes, we feel lonely or depressed, but we do not know how to get out of it. With biases, violence and divided opinions in society, it can be difficult to find what is right for you at times. Knowing and understanding ourselves is the first step to solve these issues.
