Unfortunately, counseling/therapy is still often viewed as reserved mostly for individuals with severe mental disorders.The truth is that all healthy individuals, of all ages, cultures, social and economic backgrounds, experience difficulties in life and there is nothing wrong or shameful in asking for a helping hand. As a experienced therapist I offer counseling sessions for children, adults, seniors and couples.

Carried away again in a panicked flurry of searching and scrolling. You’re worried and you want answers. You want to be sure. It’s just skin irritation, but another part of you can't help but think it's the latest killer infectious disease. It’s normal to have a bit of nerves before a big test or presentation, but when you were in school, those feelings would start a full week ahead of time. And often they would be accompanied with being unable to sleep and an upset stomach. Feeling anxious all the time is exhausting. When the phrase "what if" won't get out of your head, it's time to reach out for some extra help.

I collaborate with clients to re-establish (or establish for the first time) a sense of self-worth. I provide a safe space to explore and process any trauma they carry with them. I enjoy supporting clients as they cope with change, whether that's a pending move, acclimating to a new location, a change in relationships, or uncertainty about the future.

The most common need I hear from clients is that they have done a lot of talk therapy in the past and they are stuck. I get it. That's the client I'm excited to work with. My ideal client is one who wants to do the work because I show up for my half of the therapeutic relationship. I bring my varied 24 years of experience to every session. My specialties are complex trauma and addiction, and this also encompasses obsessive overthinking, chronic low self-confidence, generalized anxiety, relationship issues, etc. Therapy is a team effort to make lasting changes outside of the therapy environment.

I recognize and confidently address the various symptoms that present themselves as the result of a fast paced, social media driven and pressure filled life.

I recognize the hesitation associated with beginning to engage in therapy, be proud you are taking the first step.

I am most passionate to serve clients with a wide variety of mental health challenges who are "lost", "stuck", or simply want someone to listen to their issues and understand. While all of my post-secondary education and most of my life have been in the US, I was born and raised in Japan, lived in China for 2 years, and worked in a multi-cultural global corporation for many years, all of which equipped me to work with culturally and age diverse clients.
