Do you often feel unheard, unseen, or unimportant within your relationships? Maybe your emotional needs were minimized or unmet by others growing up, and it's now difficult to communicate your thoughts and feelings with others. Perhaps you identify as a people-pleaser or hyper-independent, finding it so hard to ask for help. These patterns can feel isolating and deeply anxiety-provoking, and they often have roots in complex traumas. Maybe you already “logically” connected these dots, yet you still feel stuck. That’s because complex trauma lives in the body and nervous system, not just the logical brain.
I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, including EMDR and IFS, to help you process traumatic experiences and release the emotional burdens that come with them. I integrate Narrative Therapy to help you reconnect with a sense of identity that reflects your true values, voice, and strengths. Therapy with me feels collaborative, safe, meaningful, and healing.
As a fourth-gen Japanese American therapist, I also understand how cultural expectations around family, responsibility, and respect can make healing feel complicated. I help clients preserve their emotional well-being, while still honoring their cultural values. If you’re ready to let go of old patterns and reclaim your confidence, I hear you and I see you.
