About My Clients
My clients are someone who are experiencing anxiety and/or depression, and/or have experienced any type of traumatic event that has changed the way they view the world around them. My clients are also Asian descent, either as a first generation immigrant to America or as the child or even grandchild or more of someone who immigrated to the country. 日本語で安心して話ができる場を求めている方、慣れないアメリカ生活でストレスを感じている留学生や駐在員の方、パートナーとの文化の違いへの悩みを抱えている方、日々の生活でのうつ病、不安症を抱えているけれど誰にも言えなくて悩んでいる方に、安心して悩みを相談できる環境を提供しています。
My Background and Approach
I completed my Master of Social Work program in 2012 and began working with a housing program for homeless veterans in the state of Hawaii. The experience also put me directly in contact with individuals who struggled with PTSD and trauma. In 2016, I moved to San Diego and have worked with different community case management programs, which has further allowed me to understand the trauma-informed perspective. It also helped to develop the methods of treatment and care that I use even today, which include recovery-oriented, and solution-focused treatments, as well as crisis interventions and motivational interviewing techniques. I like working with my clients through these skills combined with other methodologies that I have developed throughout the years. 2012年にソーシャルワーク修士号を取得し、退役ホームレス軍人の方、重度の精神疾患を患った方への支援を通してうつ病、不安症、トラウマへの理解を深めました。クライアント中心療法、trauma-informed approach (トラウマインフォームドアプローチ)、解決志向型療法を交えながらあなたに合った心と付き合っていく方法や日々の生活での対処法を一緒に探していきます。
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe there is no place for shame or guilt about your life, your lifestyle, your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions, your relationships, or your mental health overall in your positive future. And I can help you to understand and truly experience that. 心の悩みはひとりで抱え込んで解決するのはたやすい事ではありません。私は幼少期から家族間で心の病に触れ、心の健康がいかに生活の質や人生の幸福度を左右するかを体感してきました。そんな経験を通して、ぜひ心の健康に苦しんでいる方たちのお力添えになれればと思っています。カウンセリングにご興味のある方は一度お問い合わせくださいね。
