Bio

Hello!  I am a Japanese-American Licensed Professional Counselor providing both in person and teletherapy sessions to individuals age 12 and up.  I have been working as a therapist for the past 20 years and have had experience working in residential treatment, outpatient community mental health, and private practice.  I specialize in working with trauma, PTSD, dissociation, and anxiety, utilizing a trauma-informed and attachment based approach.  I have found that helping clients to identify and address the root cause of their issue leads to greater levels of insight, self compassion, and more meaningful and longer lasting change. In addition to healing unresolved trauma, I also help my clients to develop strategies to regulate their emotions so that my clients can begin to feel more confident as they navigate the stressors of everyday life. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing(EMDR), utilize an Internal Family Systems(IFS) informed approach, and am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT).  I am also LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming.

If you are looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to heal and grow into the best version of yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
