Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious? You're not alone—and you're in the right place. I provide therapy that is effective, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. With years of experience helping clients navigate anxiety, trauma, OCD, relationship challenges, and cultural identity issues, I’m here to support you in finding healing, clarity, and direction. I offer therapy in both English and Japanese and specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and seniors.
I hold dual M.A. degrees in Counseling Psychology and Clinical Psychology and am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland. I’ve worked in community mental health settings supporting clients with mood disorders, PTSD, grief, panic disorders, addiction, and more. My clients describe me as warm, insightful, and nonjudgmental.
My therapeutic style is integrative and client-centered, drawing from CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused CBT. This flexibility allows me to tailor treatment specifically to your goals—whether you want to reduce anxiety, work through trauma, improve relationships, or explore your identity.
