I provide individual and couple therapy on a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, relationship struggles, and self-improvement in a safe, empathetic environment.

My approach to therapy is based on empathy, mindfulness and healthy attachment. I provide gentle guidance and challenge old limiting narratives and maladaptive behaviors. This exploration can and often does involve humor, the development of emotional fluency, and mind-body exploration. I am honored to enter into the sacred space of therapy together with my clients. In addition to thoughtful dialogue, I draw upon experiential therapeutic tools such as visualization, art therapy, psychodrama and role-play, and body awareness. I specialize in working with women's issues, eating disorders, intimacy/couples/relational issues, identity issues, anxiety/depression and moving through traumatic experiences. We all contain the inner wisdom to heal ourselves and move towards being an authentic, positive and loving person. The courage to be vulnerable --by moving toward our pain and confusion as well as our joy--utterly transforms and frees us.

Hello! I work with adults and undergraduate/graduate students in Colorado who present with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, and identity/existential concerns. I value a holistic perspective when treating psychological issues and offer therapy that creates constructive and meaningful change. I utilize a contemporary psychodynamic lens to explore unconscious patterns occurring in relationship with self and others as well as techniques from DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychedelic integration, & other relational models. I identify as hapa/Japanese-American and am passionate about matters of identity and social justice. My pronouns are she/her/hers.
