About My Clients
Are you genuinely curious about unhelpful patterns that seem to keep showing up in your life and relationships? Do you ask why you're such a people-pleaser, take things so personally, have trouble opening up, suffer from analysis paralysis, feel bad about setting boundaries or communicating your needs, etc, etc?
My Background and Approach
Mayumi's approach to therapy is humanistic and relational, but other modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, internal family systems, mindfulness, and the science behind human behavior. Guided by progress, therapy should be collaborative, organic, and fluid. Mayumi's style of therapy can be described as direct, blunt, with a lot humor. Validation, compassion, and encouragement are essential, sugarcoating reality is not. She feels that any relationship can be a model on how to trust, communicate, and connect - and that includes the therapeutic relationship.
