My passion is to work with Asian immigrants and their descendants. I'm also intensively trained to work with the survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. I see quite a few male victims of DV in my practice. Some of the other issues I work with are; multicultural issues, family conflicts, trauma, social difficulties, grief and loss, or finding a purpose in life. It has been blessing to witness my clients' growth and change. I offer therapy in English and 日本語.
Most of my clients talk 90% of the time in session and what I do is to help them hear themselves to raise awareness and find answers within themselves. I sometimes ask questions to clarify what the client means and navigate them to a healthier path.
We are busy and rare to have undivided attention. 50 min weekly/biweekly session is your time to be heard. My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients to share their stories and feel supported.
Many long-term clients say that they feel like they can hear my voice between the session to get through difficulties. I believe those voices become their own eventually.
