Sessions will be shaped around your personal journey, and I take an approach that is attuned to your needs in the moment. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, multicultural concerns, and gender identity.

There is the concept of the “good enough” therapist, where a therapist meets your needs from an adequately empathetic approach. Sometimes, it is a gut feeling whether a therapist is the right choice. Consultations with different therapists allows for an opportunity to experience different therapeutic processes and styles, and to gauge the best working relationship for you.

I understand the overwhelm that can accompany high standards around artistic pursuits. Perfectionism, obsessiveness, feeling scattered, or even putting things off. Talking through creative process can lead to more clarity around your creative vision. This is a space for you to work it out.

Childhood trauma and PTSD impact a person’s sense of self and general sense of well-being. Trauma can cause innocent emotions, like shame, to become over identified with. This can manifest as depression, anxiety, or feelings of emptiness. Working through trauma is a significant undertaking that I am here to support you with.

Born in a multiracial family and raised by a first generation immigrant mother from Japan, I have personal experience with double consciousness. It is complex to live within dominant culture narratives and frameworks, and navigate oppression as a person of color. I am here to support you from a multicultural therapy approach that factors in oppression, and considers all aspects of your lived experience and racial identity.

Being neurodiverse invites good reason to be supported and understood. Neurodivergence has nuanced effects on a person’s life and deserves the appropriate conversations around a person’s lived experience. I have experience working with neurodiversity in autism spectrum, ADHD, memory, and sensory perception concerns.

I love to write music, listen to albums, go for walks, watch movies, and jam with friends! Journaling has become a therapeutic practice in my life as well.
