Are you native Japanese or involved in a relationship with a person of Japanese descent? Are you or your family member feeling lost or depressed after moving to Los Angeles from Japan and having trouble adjusting to life in the United States? Are you a college student or foreign language student and feeling overwhelmed by living alone in a foreign culture and learning new social dynamics? Are you having problems parenting your American-born children? I can help you.
For over twenty years, I have mostly worked with native Japanese or families of mixed heritage (where one of the members is of Japanese descent) with adjustment, relationship, and cross-cultural issues. As a native Japanese speaker myself, I have a good understanding of Japanese modern culture, social dynamics, sensibilities, and generational differences.
Licensed MFT in California (MFT41010), Texas (203764), and Nevada (2965-R).
