My ideal client is a person who wants to succeed in life, by becoming aware of their mind, body and spirit interactions and how to utilize this awareness in their intimate relationships. Their issues can be improving their self esteem, overcoming past traumas, and developing their emotional, intellectual and sexual connections with others. If you strive to have better relationships and/or safeguard your current relationship, I can offer you the understanding and techniques of how to do so. I can do this without years of therapy, in a short term focused way that addresses how to overcome struggles fast and effectively.

I believe in the ability of people to heal from difficult events and to make positive changes in their lives. Therapy (individual, group, couples) needs to be a safe place where a client can feel supported in addressing their issues. I have seen how a psychotherapeutic relationship, in combination with other relationships in the client's life, can aid in those processes of healing and self-change. As a therapist I offer insight and other assistance where helpful but the focus remains on the client, the client's experience and the meanings that she/he/they draw from that experience.

I practice therapy using an integrated approach, pulling from cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, experiential, existential, and gestalt techniques.
I have experience working in private group practices, hospitals, and a community mental health clinic. Along the way in my clinical career, I honed a specialty for working with young adults of all backgrounds, particularly those struggling with finding their place in the world or appreciating themselves more. Identity, purpose, and meaning are pillars of existence that I believe all people deserve to solidify and manifest in positive ways. Many young people struggle from internal or external factors that confuse or weigh down their endeavor to find their happy life.

Please note that my practice is for adults living in New York State only. I'm a Japanese-born Jungian Analyst. I typically work with adults over 35. While I mainly do Jungian analysis through dream interpretation and active imagination, I also use other modalities (such as Existential and Buddhist mindfulness-based therapies). My focus is not so much on psychopathology or medical diagnosis per se, but more on the meanings that your unconsciousness is trying to convey through these problems. I believe that various life challenges often manifest themselves as stepping stones for personal development and self-actualization.

Focuses include: crisis, trauma, LGBTQIA+, Domestic Violence, Cultural Sensitivity, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Empowerment, Advocacy, Agency, CBT, SFBT, DBT, REBT, and Existential Therapy.
The most integral aspect of counseling is coming from a person centered, peer and trauma informed focus that is collaborative and culturally sensitive, meaning, providing you with the autonomy and agency to decide what coping skills, care, and approach is best suited for you. Working as a team is imperative in order for each session to feel like a conversation and not something purely clinical. Providing you with resources you need and desire, along with actively listening, being empathic, and present, creates the ideal atmosphere for healing. It is my honor and privilege to be of assistance to you.

I utilize forms of modern psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral, and existential approaches.
The greatest discovery I have made in life is to embrace the unexpected, to crave the twists and turns as much as the great joys of life, and to lead with curiosity. Life can often feel scary, and we may face challenges that leave us feeling like there is nowhere to turn. If you find yourself feeling this way, you are not alone. Whether you are dealing with feelings of great sadness, anxiousness that feels uncontrollable, or struggling to move past an event in your life you have turned to the right place. Seeking therapy can lead to a greater understanding of yourself, the world around you, and the person you want to be.

Existential Therapists

How does existential therapy work?

Existential therapy focuses on a patient’s inner experiences. The therapist tries to help the individual comprehend and alleviate symptoms by exploring their interior life. By confronting negative disquiet and emotions, the individual will hopefully become more open to finding meaning and purpose. This therapy can be administered to individuals or groups.

Is existential therapy evidence-based?

Existential therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has determined that existential therapy can lead to significant improvement in the mental health of patients, and for some people it can be just as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of existential therapy are enduring, even long after treatment has ended.

How long does existential therapy last?

The goal of existential therapy is to understand a person’s internal experiences, which may sound like a lengthy process, but it does not have to be so in-depth. However, sessions are not short-term, and therapy can continue for months or up to a year. And because patients learn the theory behind existential therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is existential therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with existential therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving feelings of isolation, feelings of purposelessness, as well as conditions such as anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can persist even after the end of existential therapy, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve developed during treatment.
