Therapy with me is a place of active change. I help people manage stress and reduce overwhelm, strengthen relationships, build resilience, and move from "stuckness" into growth. My patients come to me to shift thinking styles, improve communication, and increase productivity. I use evidence-based practices (such as CBT and mindfulness) to enhance self-awareness, build skills, and achieve targeted goals. We also explore core beliefs and behavior patterns to deepen self-understanding. With couples, my work is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman research. My office is located in a beautiful, peaceful marina setting.
With a background in health/medical psychology and biofeedback, I focus on mind-body health and chronic pain/illness management. I teach non-pharmaceutical techniques to reduce pain flares, treat insomnia, manage headaches/migraines, and improve stress-related medical conditions. I utilize a highly effective breathing technique to treat panic attacks.
My other passion is Asian multicultural counseling. As a 2nd gen Japanese American, I am fluent in Japanese and specialize in providing culturally attuned services. I am committed to serving the AAPI community, addressing issues related to immigration, identity, racism, cross-cultural relationships, intergenerational conflict, and culture-specific values.
