I’m a Japanese-American therapist with a private practice located in San Francisco. My office is located in Presidio Heights next to Laurel Village. I know that everyone has a personal history that is complex and riddled with cultural expectations. If your searching this directory it means that you want to find a therapist who can relate. I can’t promise you a specific outcome delivered by a culturally attuned model minority. My goal is to provide a space for clients to explore feelings and be able to hold space for those fleeting moments. I understand that therapy is a significant investment both emotionally and financially.

I’m currently accepting new clients both in-person and Telehealth for California residents. I am an out-of-network provider and do not take insurance. I am solely accepting private pay, which is paying in full at the start or end of the session. My fee is $225 for a 60-minute session. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to make an introduction and determine if we’re a good fit.
