Specialties in Psychotherapy
I offer focused support in areas that many clients find especially meaningful for their healing and growth. These specialties reflect my clinical expertise and my commitment to therapy that is experiential, culturally sensitive, and tailored to your unique story.
My specialties
Asian Therapist in NYC
As an Asian, bilingual therapist (Japanese-English) in NYC, I bring both clinical expertise and cultural understanding to the therapeutic space. For many Asian and Asian American clients, cultural values, family expectations, and identity can play a significant role in mental health. I provide a space where these dynamics are acknowledged and respected, so you can feel understood without having to explain every detail.
Perfectionism Therapy in NYC
Perfectionism often drives achievement but can also lead to self-criticism, anxiety, and burnout.
Together, we explore the patterns that fuel your inner pressure, helping you soften harsh self-demands and discover healthier ways to thrive. Therapy can support you in building self-compassion and finding balance, without losing your motivation or drive.
Inner Child Work in NYC
Unresolved wounds or unmet needs from childhood often echo into adult life, shaping how we see ourselves and relate to others. Through inner child work, I support you in reconnecting with those younger parts of yourself, offering them the compassion and care they needed. This process can bring deep healing, greater self-acceptance, and more fulfilling relationships.
High-Functioning Anxiety in NYC
Many people with high-functioning anxiety appear successful and composed, yet inside they feel constant worry, pressure, or exhaustion. Therapy provides a space to slow down, identify the roots of this anxiety, and learn tools to reduce overwhelm. My approach helps clients move toward greater ease, balance, and a sense of inner calm—even while continuing to pursue their goals.
