Japanese Therapists in Mountlake Terrace, WA

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。

自分らしく生きる、成長するって結構大変。 表面では笑顔を見せてるけど、本当は泣きたいんだ。なんだか一生懸命生きるのがつらい。世界はでかいのに、自分は押しつぶされそうな米粒の様に小さく感じる。そんな時に、一緒に悩んで、寄り添える、そんなカウンセラーでありたいと思っています。

Are you struggling or stuck? Do you feel confused, overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or afraid? Do you feel sad, lonely, empty, lost, worthless, ashamed, or guilty?

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.

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.

If you have ever felt alone or out of place, I want to help you learn ways to interact with the world so that it doesn't seem so overwhelming or foreign. If you've struggled figuring out who you, where you belong, or what your values are, you're not alone - it's a natural part of the human experience!

I am so excited that you are interested in finding out more about therapy! Undertaking therapy is a way to show kindness to yourself, a way to identify beliefs that may no longer serve you. I have seen firsthand what a difference therapy can make in my own life and in the lives of my clients. Consider self-talk, for example. What we tell ourselves day in and day out has a direct effect on how we experience our lives. We take our assumptions for the truth. Our thoughts affect the way we feel and the way we behave. Understanding this is an important starting point for therapy.

Welcome! Looking for a therapist can be daunting. I applaud you for taking steps to help yourself. My clients typically come to me because they are suffering from high levels of stress or anxiety. They feel overwhelmed and panicky, are not able to stop worrying, or feel irritable and angry. Often they are puzzled by the intensity of their own emotional responses and they blame themselves for “overreacting”. Sounds familiar? There is nothing wrong with you. Your past memories, likely traumatic ones, may be intensifying your responses.
