Japanese Therapists in Groveland, MA

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 provide client-centered psychotherapy services that are tailored to the needs of each client. I draw from a variety of theoretical orientations including Psychodynamic (insight oriented) and behavioral (skills oriented) treatment approaches.

Accepting a limited number of new clients: I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker currently providing trauma-focused psychotherapy in the greater Boston area. I have experience working with children, families, and adults in individual and group settings for private practice, multi-service agencies, as well as in the home.

I have been working as a therapist since 1997. As a marriage and family therapist, I work with couples, families, as well as individuals.

Do you feel overwhelmed when facing the obstacles in your life? Have you tried to find ways to help yourself, but no matter what you do, things are not getting better? Therapy can help you find new ways of dealing with the challenges in life that have become too much to handle alone. Every person has a reservoir of strength inside. Through compassionate, supportive therapy, you can connect to your strengths to develop new ways of dealing with problems and difficult feelings, relationships, and transitions.

I've been working with many young adults, especially Asian-Americans who are dealing with turning points in their lives such as relationships, career, and identities. I see many bi-cultural/bi-racial couples, families, and their children.

I consider that answers are within clients, not in therapists, and I am here to help you find your own answers. My approach is truly eclectic, since I have deeply studied each of various methods, including psychodynamic, humanistic, person-centered, relational focused, Jungian, and cognitive & behavioral approaches. The approach is chosen based on my client's conditions, needs, and the stage of changes at that time. I also sometimes provide information about the connections among the brain, the nervous system, body conditions, and thoughts/emotions/behaviors.

If you’ve got your mental and emotional well-being, you’ve got everything. The mind is our most powerful tool; and yet, it can easily fall out of balance. Life is too short to allow unnecessary thoughts, feelings and reactions to detract from your reality. Therapy unlocks the power of your mind, opening new avenues of thought and action that ultimately let you triumph over what seemed like insurmountable obstacles and barriers. My clients have presented with anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress-related issues. I also am particularly interested in issues of cultural adjustment and life transition.

Please Email to reach me. I offer evidence-based therapy for BIPOC who struggles with stressors that affect their work and personal life. Chronic anxiety, grief/loss, past trauma, or physical/medical conditions can affect our sense of self, mood, and interpersonal dynamics. I work well with young professionals as well as adults and seniors who are caregiving spouses/family with dementia and/or other medical issues. You may have read self-help books but not satisfied with the outcome and want more than to cope. Are you are ready to create lasting changes? Together, we will aim to help you feel hopeful & for a felt sense of relief.
