Welcome, and 初めまして。 I offer telehealth therapy for residents of Hawaii and New York.
If you’re here, you’re probably hoping to feel better—fast. That’s human.
I was born in Japan, grew up in the U.S., and have lived in both Hawaii and New York. I’m a licensed clinical social worker in both states, with a background in leading nationally recognized mental health programs and training over 200 therapists. I also bring a business perspective, which helps me focus on practical, real-world solutions.
From both professional and personal experience, I understand how even strong, capable people can feel overwhelmed when life throws a curveball.
Sometimes change takes time, but we can begin right away by making sense of what’s going on and finding realistic ways to move forward.
I take a practical, steady approach, backed by over 25 years of experience in mental health.
Throughout my career, I have been motivated by a desire to improve patient outcomes and promote equitable healthcare access, especially for underserved communities. As an FNP-BC, I have assessed, diagnosed, and treated a wide range of chronic and acute conditions. Meanwhile, my role as a PMHNP-BC has allowed me to address complex mental health issues while recognizing the strong link between psychological and physical well-being. These experiences have reinforced my belief in holistic care and compassionate patient treatment.
Many people move through life feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to care for
themselves while caring for everyone else. You might be wondering why life doesn’t feel better
or why you keep putting your own needs last. These experiences are more common than most
people realize, and they can take a real toll on your mind and body.
As someone with lived experience, I understand how challenging it can be to navigate
relationships, identity, stress, and the expectations placed on us. My approach to therapy is
integrative and person‐centered, grounded in your needs, preferences, and cultural worldview. I
believe therapy should feel like a space where you can breathe, reflect, and reconnect with
yourself.
Whether online or in person, I work to create a supportive environment where you can explore
concerns related to relationships, gender, trauma, grief, identity, and life transitions. My goal is to
help you cultivate greater clarity, resilience, and overall wellness because living a better life
shouldn’t feel out of reach.
Welcome. Thank you for taking the first step toward wholeness. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on systemic and relational healing. This includes journeying with my clients through ancestral, childhood, and adulthood life challenges to help them access and address pain.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience. I hold certificates as a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor and a Certified Criminal Justice Professional. I am an EMDR trained therapist, I have experience in Trauma Informed Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotional Focus Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, Addiction Treatment and Motivational Interviewing.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier coping strategies, and build on your existing strengths to foster lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, I aim to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and capable of creating the life you want.
