こんにちは、プロファイルページへようこそ。日本人として、ワシントン州にお住まいの皆さんにとって、日本とは大きく異なる文化・仕事・教育環境の中、また日本での支持基盤と切り離された環境の中で生活していくのは、とても大変なことだと思います。ただでさえ、外国での生活は大変なので、何かのきっかけで、物事に悩むことは、誰もが経験することだと思います。「文句ばかり言うな」、「人前で泣くのは恥ずかしいことだ」と言われて育ってきた私たちには、専門家に頼るのは少し抵抗があることかもしれません。でも、一人で悩まずに、誰かに相談することは、心の健康にとって、最も危険である孤独感・疎外感を軽減する効果があります。自分に合ったセラピストを探すことは、心の健康のための「はじめの一歩」です。

I am a English/Japanese speaking therapist. I have two cultural backgrounds, so I can provide different perspectives and different point of views in our work together. I am grateful to navigate you searching life meanings and making sense of your life, also to support you taking courageous steps toward achieving wellness.

I, as a therapist, can guide you choose a least harmful course for your journey, and the best course for that moment.

Emotional pain, fear, and problems in life can propel someone into therapy. Distress can feel deep-rooted, and in actuality, often does reflect early, 'ancient' issues. I believe that also in our deepest roots, we may tap into powers of resilience and of amazing, unique selfhood that nourish us in development toward our human potentialities. In courageous exploration of, and work through life's challenges, we can find, and bring to light, marvelous, hard-won gifts of self-actualization, and well-being.

Note: Accepting new clients again, starting in October 2024. As a tenured professor, I have firsthand insights into the unique, demanding, and often problematic professional institutions. My practice specializes in working with professionals, who are highly successful in many ways but have (had to) set aside and not been able to prioritize their emotional and interpersonal wellbeing. I have especially built an expertise in working with people of color, LGBTQ+ folks, and others, who have been historically overlooked by the traditional framework of professional institutions. I work with those located in MA, WA, and TX (online only).

I believe that everyone can explore internally and foster potential to create a brighter outlook of life. Through open-minded and non-judgmental collaboration, I work with many individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, interpersonal, family dynamic issues, career concerns, trauma, grief, parenting, and body image issues. Almost 20 years of experience, I assist children, adults, families, and couples exploring self-understanding, identifying emotional and behavioral patterns, develop new perspectives and emotion and stress management skills, making meaningful interpersonal connections, and making career decisions.
