Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes we need a place where we can be completely honest without feeling judged. I'm an LCSW who takes a relaxed, collaborative, and practical approach to therapy. I especially enjoy working with women navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationships, self-esteem, and the many pressures that can come with being a woman today.

As a half-Japanese woman, I also understand that identity can be complicated. Culture, family expectations, race, relationships, and the different parts of who we are can sometimes be difficult to reconcile. I welcome conversations about cultural and racial identity, belonging, family dynamics, and the experience of navigating multiple cultures.

I have a particular interest in working with women, women Veterans, women experiencing infertility or fertility-related stress, and Asian Americans navigating identity, culture, family expectations, or belonging. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and find realistic ways to move forward.

My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Critical Race Theory, and Feminist Theory. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and therapy should be a collaborative process - not a place where someone tells you how you should live. My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling heard, empowered, and better equipped to handle whatever comes next.

Our first session is primarily about getting to know each other and beginning to understand what brings you to therapy. You don't need to have everything figured out before we meet, and you don't need to know exactly what you want to work on. We can start wherever you are and figure it out together.
