About My Clients
I love working with people from different backgrounds and addressing racial and cultural related issues, cultural adjustment, and immigration-related anxiety. As an immigrant myself, I am passionate about advocating for these communities! I am bilingual in English and Japanese and offer sessions in both languages. I also specialize in working with survivors of sexual and relationship violence, having completed a 40-hour domestic violence training certificate.
My Background and Approach
I am a board-certified Dance/Movement Therapist, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and Graduate Laban Certified Movement Analyst. I have experience working with both adults and children in hospital, school, and community mental health settings, addressing a variety of mood disorders (including depression and anxiety), family conflict, trauma, and social/relationship issues. I value cultural humility and believe in a holistic approach that is centered on you and your experiences in our therapy sessions. I encourage you to bring your unique culture to the space we share in sessions, and I will respect and support your beliefs and practices. I integrate collaborative insight-driven discussion and movement-based interventions, which helps me to address both your physical (body) and emotional (mind) needs in a natural and non-judgmental manner.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am deeply into activism and anti-violence work. I strive to practice my life with restortive justice lens and believs in the power of empowerment!
