We strive for efficient and effective mental health services and related cross-cultural consultation to individuals and organizations.

We aim to improve your quality of life and well-being while living away from your home country.

I have a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy in the State of California.  

Moved to the U.S. as a young adult 20+ years ago. While excited to experience all a new country has to offer, I found it challenging to deal with some of the simple things in life. At one point I wanted to give up. Rather than flee back to my home country, I found myself inspired by my father to return to college and expand my education.
 
After graduating with a B.A. in Psychology from University of California at Berkeley, I worked as a research assistant where I had the opportunity to work closely with families of dementia patients. From this experience I had found my passion, my life’s calling and I went on to get a Master’s Degree in Counseling from San Francisco University, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy. I had worked with several non-profit organizations providing counseling to people of diverse backgrounds dealing with abuse, acculturation process, addiction, anger management, depression, grief/loss, trauma, and multigenerational conflicts.
 
My personal acculturation process has taught me uniquely competent to assist individuals experiencing stress adapting to life in unfamiliar surroundings and I am truly compassionate about helping people. Now I'm back in my hometown, providing mental services to the bilingual communities in Japan.
