Life can offer us incredible beauty. It can also bring tremendous suffering. If you find yourself in pain, know you are not alone. As much as we may not like it, pain is intrinsic to the human condition. It certainly gets our attention. And, offers us the opportunity to deepen into greater wholeness and eventual joy. With support and guidance, we learn to see our experiences more clearly and understand their impact on our present circumstances. We become freer to make better choices and find we too are worthy of love and care. Our outer lives then begin to reflect this inner shift in our consciousness and understanding.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. We all are impacted by the families we grew up in, events we experienced and the relationships in our lives. It impacts how we view ourselves and the world around us. It determines how we respond to people and events. If you struggle with anxieties, depression, life challenges, and transitions, therapy can open new doors. I view therapy as a collaboration - walking together for a stretch to resolve issues or conflicts you would like to work on.

I provide therapeutic services for individual adults, couples, and children/teens from ages 12 years old and up. Have you ever noticed that thinking about a problem and spinning it around and around in your head gets you nowhere? Talking about the issues helps to give it shape; a beginning, middle and end. It helps it to become something that can be worked on and managed. A huge benefit of talk therapy is that you are working through emotional issues as well as developing tools to help you deal with them in the future. Therapy can assist in helping you understand yourself better and hopefully help you navigate future situations.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and I make every effort to develop caring and respectful relationships. My interventions tend to be integrative with an emphasis on interpersonal relationships, emotional awareness and effective thinking patterns.

Cultivating Happiness can be a challenge in these uncertain times. If you are struggling with life's challenges I can develop a plan for you to live in peace. Living with sadness, anxiety, fear, and depression are feelings that can prevent you from living a life with more Bliss and less pain. Living a life of purpose, loving the "Self" is a journey of discovery leading to an understanding of your inner processes and how they affect your Life's journey. We will illuminate unconscious behaviors which limit a life of joy. Using Dream Analysis and Depth techniques we are partners planting the seeds for happiness and joy.

My passion above all is to support others and help them navigate the numerous challenges that present themselves in life, and ultimately find a sense of safety and the best version of themselves within that journey. I have experience with a wide range of people including children/adolescents, parents, and adults facing behavioral and mental health concerns including anxiety and depression, trauma, as well as social and relationship difficulties. The LGBTQ community is close to my heart and one that I recognize has a unique experience and own set of challenges.

Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming. I understand it takes courage to be vulnerable, so I’ll meet you with compassion and a non-judgmental space for healing. A safe space for exploring your thoughts and feelings while being heard and understood. Our lived experiences can often burden us with feelings of hopelessness, worry, fear, shame, and guilt, or sometimes have us questioning our self-worth or purpose in life. You have worth and your needs matter and are deserving of individualized attention. Together, I will support you in processing what has you feeling stuck or in pain and interfering with your daily life.

My primary training for being a psychologist was growing up in my own dysfunctional family. After many spiritual groups and a couple years in India with Ram Dass, I finally returned to school to finish my doctorate. I have trained in a number of mind/body therapies (EMDR, Brainspotting, Bioenergetics, Process Acupressure, Somatic Experiencing), since it is my experience that just talking about one’s problems do not usually allow one to make a deep shift. And yes, I do take QUEST plans (except Kaiser)

Aloha, are you needing support and looking for freedom from internal strain, anxiety, worry, depression, trauma and relationship issues? In today's culture with fewer connections to communities and cultures, it gives much less support to you and it's important to reach out. It’s time to explore and develop the richness and capacities within you for improved understanding, awareness and self-direction through body, mind, emotion & spirit practices and tools.

Dr. Takasawa’s is a skilled therapist and committed Christian who brings her professional interest and unique perspectives to issues involving relationships, life transitions, stress and anxiety, depression, and spiritual struggles. She believes that therapy includes the process of coming to know oneself better with a clearer, more confident sense of identity and increased capacity to love self, others, and God. In this way, we tend to come into a greater sense of peace and empowerment. While Dr. Takasawa’s approach to psychotherapy is informed by her faith, she maintains an accepting and non-judgmental stance and is open to work
