As a Japanese American woman who has lived in the South throughout my life, I find myself on a journey of searching for who I am and what it means to show up just as I am in the world around me.

I truly believe in the capabilities of everyone I work with and believe that you are the expert of your own life; I am here to walk with you on your journey.

Life is a mix of celebrations and challenges, often leaving us feeling weighed down by emotions we’re unsure how to process. Therapy doesn’t have to be a scary process—it’s an opportunity to be heard, understood, and supported.

My clients often refer to what I call 'blurry trauma,' early attachment experiences that were less than affirming but so ingrained, the client often doesn't recall outstanding events. They may not even remember much about their childhood at all. That kind of trauma leads to addiction, confusing, disorganized or unfulfilling relationships, and difficulty harnessing the resources needed to navigate change so the client can create their most authentic life and relationships. I use present moment, present location resources such as the client's own strengths, passions, and ability to make creative decisions to facilitate safe change.

Our understanding of autism & ADHD has changed; millions of people remain undiagnosed. ADHD and autism often co-occur. They can be hidden by or mistaken for trauma/BPD, bipolar, perimenopause, or perfectionism. Engineers, programmers, nurses, and teachers can spend a lifetime not understanding why things have been so hard. They feel stupid, lazy, or alien. BIPOC, women/non-binary, and older adults are most likely to have been missed or mislabeled. Being professionally successful doesn't mean you cannot have ADHD or autism, but it may mean that you have had to work harder to excel in a world that was not designed to meet your needs.

It’s taken me a long time to write this because I desperately wanted my bio to communicate my heart for counseling, people, and the work that I do, but I also feel that words fall short when you’re trying to communicate something so intimate.

Whether this is your first time seeking counseling or your 10th time, I hope to encourage and help empower you in your fight to become who you want to be. Whatever next step you decide to take, I hope the best for you.

Are you running an emotional marathon? Do the bandaids on your emotional wounds keep falling off? I will hold space for whatever is standing in the way of living life on your terms.

Our collective struggle is that we have inherited a world of imbalance and as such, imbalance lives within each of us. It is my belief that healing is done in community, and that true change can only occur in the space between individuals. Together, we will work to find equilibrium and healing amongst the madness. It is my goal to help clients develop and hone the best version of themselves according to their own vision. Through the integration of movement and the expressive arts, I seek to assist clients in rewriting their narratives in a way that embodies dignity and strength.

Most couples don’t struggle because they don’t love each other. They struggle because
their nervous systems are running old protection strategies, ones that made sense once,
and are now quietly dismantling the intimacy they both want. I’m a PACT-trained couples
therapist working at the level of the body, the nervous system, and the science of
attachment. If you’ve already tried the communication tips — maybe even tried therapy —
and the same fight keeps finding you, the problem likely lives deeper than words. That’s
where I work. I offer extended sessions that give us room to go beneath the argument to what’s driving the conflict.

Sometimes you find yourself in a phase of life and wonder “how did I get here?” Or maybe you need help making sense of what it means to be there. You are not alone. In a trusted therapeutic alliance, we can work together to understand and accept not only the phase of life you are in, but who you are and how you can transform into who you want to be. Let’s dive into your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and determine if they are getting you closer to who you want to be. This can look like building positive self regard, meaning making, setting boundaries, creating new goals, or healing from abusive systems.
