About My Clients
As a person whose experiences and identities do not fit neatly into categories, I have encountered the challenges of navigating a society that operates on the assumption that ‘one size fits all’ works for everyone. I strive to create a different kind of space in my therapeutic approach.
My Background and Approach
I am a multiracial (half white and half Japanese), cisgender, queer woman, with an immigrant parent and firsthand understanding of the complexities of navigating a multicultural family. My personal experience lends itself to professional curiosity and empathy as I support you in exploring and discovering what works best for you, both in the therapeutic process and in your life. I will support you in strengthening your coping skills, improving communication and interpersonal relationships, and in making sense of your own story. I have specialized training in multicultural psychology, LGBTQ+ psychology, treatment of trauma (including adult survivors of childhood trauma), anxiety, mood disorders, and psychosis. I utilize intersectional feminist therapy as the framework from which I integrate relational, ACT, and DBT interventions.
