For over twenty years, I have mostly worked with native Japanese or families of mixed heritage (where one of the members is of Japanese descent) with adjustment, relationship, and cross-cultural issues.
Are you native Japanese or involved in a relationship with a person of Japanese descent? Are you or your family member feeling lost or depressed after moving to Los Angeles from Japan and having trouble adjusting to life in the United States? Are you a college student or foreign language student and feeling overwhelmed by living alone in a foreign culture and learning new social dynamics? Are you having problems parenting your American-born children? I can help you.

I am fluent in English, Korean, and Japanese.
Sometimes life can be like a roller coaster riding. One minute it seems like you are going up to the top of the world. Another minute you feel like you are plunging down not knowing if there will be an end to it. This can be scary and overwhelming. It is my passion to help people move from an anxious, depressed or troubled state to one that has hope and acceptance. I believe in emotional, physical, and spiritual recovery. I work with individuals, groups, couples, and adolescents.

You always try to do the right thing, but somehow, people don't appreciate it. When you try to help, they might even blame you! You put your needs aside to take care of others, and no one is there to take care of you, but you don't say anything. Maybe you cry when no one is there. And then you put your smile back on and turn back into the person they need you to be. One day, it all gets to be too much, and you don't know what to do. So you come see me.

Embarking on the journey of small business ownership is often filled with excitement, promise, and the allure of independence. It's a path that holds the potential to fulfill lifelong dreams and aspirations. However, the reality of running a business can sometimes be different from the initial expectations. Many small business owners face a multitude of challenges that can leave them feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable. The constant anxiety about sustaining profits, the nagging imposter syndrome, and the relentless pressure to stand out can all contribute to a sense of being stuck.
