My goal as a therapist is to create a welcoming space where you can be yourself. I embrace your strengths, insights, emotions, sense of humor, and creativity. I believe in your ability to heal and grow. Together, we’ll work collaboratively to ensure that therapy is meaningful and aligned with your goals.
I aim to listen attentively, understand your needs, and respect your unique perspective. I begin by exploring what matters most to you, with a priority on stability and safety. When you feel ready, we will work together to make the changes you desire, helping you live the life you deserve.
My approach is trauma-informed and integrates person-centered, narrative, and emotionally focused theories, along with mind-body (somatic) and mindfulness-based interventions.
I offer sessions both online, and in-person in the Meguro area of Tokyo.
Please contact me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation or to inquire about counseling.
