ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I have been offering counseling and psychotherapy sine 1997.
I believe in strengths in each human being and values each person’s unique qualities and experiences.
My aim is to assist people who are struggling with painful feelings and stressful circumstances to overcome such problems and achieve better understanding of self in a safe and supportive environment. I have worked with a wide range of issues and people in various settings such as clinic, Employee Assistance Program, and Social Service agencies and Non-profit organizations, besides private practice.

THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
I offer Individual Psychotherapy / Counseling and Couples Counseling that is goal oriented, using a video meeting application (Zoom). I primarily work with adults and adolescents. My therapeutic approach may differ somewhat depending on the personality and needs of the client, but it often focuses on interpersonal interactions, cognitive change, and behavioral techniques. The approach will be discussed and decided through collaboration during the initial stage of the therapeutic process. All the services can be offered both in English and Japanese.
