My practice is multicultural, multilingual (Japanese, Spanish, and English), and multidisciplinary (as a former teacher). My approach is flexible and practical. I work with clients to identify major issues and develop treatment goals. Clients are empowered through access to reliable psycho-educational tools and materials to better prepare them to advocate for themselves and others. We then work together to (1) develop individual coping skills, and (2) cultivate social/environmental supports (e.g., linkage to support groups, strengthening of community or family ties). My goal is to enable clients to resolve issues/manage symptoms independently (without professional help) in future.
I am experienced at integrating psychotherapy with 12-step and other addiction treatment programs. I work with children/adults with AD/HD, and other diagnoses to (1) educate them about underlying physiological causes, (2) deal with medication and other lifestyle changes, (3) navigate educational/healthcare systems, and (4) combat stigma.
My extensive international experience includes 14 years living in Japan and 3 years in Peru. My diverse background enables me to be open-minded, eclectic, and creative in my approach to treatment, and to distinguish personal and mental health issues from cultural and societal ones.
