Many people seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed with new or unexpected life stressors, or when they feel stuck or controlled by their thoughts and feelings. Sometimes we focus so much on being happy, but paradoxically experience happiness as elusive. I work collaboratively with adult clients to change their relationships with their thoughts and feelings, regain control over their actions, and lead meaningful lives. I encourage conversations about identity, oppression, and privilege with my clients, as therapy can be an important space to address the effects of racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism, and ableism on our lives.

The path to healing is not always easy, but you don’t need to do it alone. I am here to be your guide, your support, your resource, and your co-conspirator. As a QTBIPOC, 1.5-generation Japanese American immigrant I am familiar with the stresses, struggles and challenges of migration, acculturation, and racialization and the labor of masking and performing identity to survive.

I am a queer and trans nonbinary therapist mainly providing support for trans and nonbinary clients coping with transphobia as well as navigating gender identity and a/sexuality exploration and development.
A few of the ways we will work together to make sense of traumatic experiences are through body-based strategies, trauma narratives, and emotionally focused therapy. I also offer support for gender-affirming procedures and care, by providing gender therapy and writing support letters for medical and legal gender-affirming procedures.

I approach therapy as an active and collaborative process that supports you to connect with your desires. Together, we untangle social and emotional knots: conflicts that take form in your relationships and within yourself. We ask honest questions and pay attention to the connections between what is personally felt and collectively shared. Over time, we attend to the roots of struggles to bring about meaningful change. I work with adults individually and in couples.

I work with teens and young adults navigating gender identity, sexuality, relationships, and the particular kind of anxiety that comes with not yet knowing who you are or knowing, but not yet feeling safe to be that person.
My practice is fully affirming of all genders and sexualities, with a deep specialization in trans and gender-expansive experiences. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we'll work with the different parts of you. Clients often describe this as finally feeling like themselves.

Hi there, welcome to my therapy page! I am a queer, NYC-based therapist offering individual, group, and couples/relationship therapy, both in person and via Telehealth.

I believe we all have our own intuition, dreams, and values, and I want to support you in connecting with your own.

I work with people who live, in some way, on the edges of the dominant culture—people who don’t quite fit, who think deeply, feel deeply, and are often misunderstood in conventional spaces, including sometimes in therapy. My work is grounded in contemplative psychotherapy and Buddhist psychology and integrates relational, attachment-based, and mindfulness-based approaches. I have particular expertise in gender and sexuality, identity and life transitions, grief and loss, unconventional relationships and families, and the existential questions that arise when you are trying to build a life that actually fits who you are.

Every day, I am inspired by the courage and strength of my clients. Bearing witness to their progress and being part of their journey of fulfillment is a profound honor.

I view therapy as a collaborative endeavor, where we work in concert to uncover patterns, build coping strategies, and foster personal growth.

The parts of ourselves that we struggle with are sometimes our greatest assets. Therapy can be a place to better realize our strengths and identify where long-term narratives and behaviors are no longer serving us. I am passionate about working with people on areas such as OCD, anxiety, trauma, adoption, gender, and relationships including romantic and parental. Oftentimes religion/spirituality and sex/sexuality, come up in my work. My therapeutic approach incorporates both systemic and relational pieces. We do not exist in a vacuum. All of our experiences shape the person we are today

I believe therapy begins with the person and what they are seeking from the therapeutic experience. Therapy can be transformational, but the key is what the changes are that you want in your life. We can explore that together and along the way nurture the self-compassion, self-acceptance, and satisfying relationships that let you thrive. My style is collaborative, warm, affirming, and non-pathologizing and my approach draws on relational, psychodynamic, strengths-based, narrative, and behavioral modalities.

Many of my patients come in having already tried therapy before, yet still find themselves returning to the same problems. By creating a space for you to speak freely, we can begin to understand what more is going on beneath the surface of your life. Often, just by talking, we are able to discover what is holding you back. This kind of work takes time and consistency, though sometimes people notice a change sooner.
