I’m a therapist that works with people experiencing anxiety and depression.
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, to me, it should be personal. Drawing from Psychodynamic principles, traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness techniques, I work with you to build coping tools for life’s challenges.

You may be a high-achiever, a people-pleaser, or someone who appears confident on the outside yet feeling exhausted, anxious, or questioning your worth on the inside.
I also work with couples who feel stuck in repetitive cycles of conflict, miscommunication, or emotional disconnection. In our work, I help couples shift away from blame and defensiveness and move toward curiosity, emotional safety, and deeper connection. The focus is on learning how to listen with empathy and reconnect from a place of mutual understanding.

Please note that my practice is for adults in New York or Florida only. I typically see people who are 25 years-old or older. I'm a Japanese-born Jungian Analyst. While I mainly do Jungian analysis through dream interpretation and active imagination, I also use other modalities such as spirituality-based therapy, and art therapy. My focus is not so much on diagnosis per se, but more on the in-depth meanings and symbols that your psyche is trying to convey through your dreams and expressive art/images. I also have limited availability for in-person sessions.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
