As a licensed psychologist in New York and New Jersey, I offer remote individual psychotherapy to adults. My approach is collaborative, and you are an active partner in designing your personal goals. I individualize treatment based on your presenting concerns/needs as well as your unique background and history. Based on my training and experience in a variety of treatment modalities, including CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I use an integrative approach to help you reach your personal goals, which may involve learning skills to manage life’s difficulties and developing greater understanding of yourself.
I have more than 15 years of experience working in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals and schools. As a trained pianist and a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, I also incorporate creative expression in my practice, and my speciality includes issues related to cultural diversity (e.g., LGBTQIA+, Asian American mental health, immigration). As a native of Japan, I am bilingual in Japanese and English, and offer services in both languages.

As a mental health counselor, I believe that everyone’s path toward wellness is unique. I’m passionate about helping people discover their own sense of balance and fulfillment, no matter where they are on their journey. Clients often describe me as compassionate, empathetic, and easy to connect with. I approach each person with genuine curiosity and respect, creating a space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to empower you to build confidence, strengthen coping skills, and move toward your optimal level of well-being.
