Welcome, and 初めまして。 I offer telehealth therapy for residents of Hawaii and New York.

If you’re here, you’re probably hoping to feel better—fast. That’s human.

I was born in Japan, grew up in the U.S., and have lived in both Hawaii and New York. I’m a licensed clinical social worker in both states, with a background in leading nationally recognized mental health programs and training over 200 therapists. I also bring a business perspective, which helps me focus on practical, real-world solutions.

From both professional and personal experience, I understand how even strong, capable people can feel overwhelmed when life throws a curveball.

Sometimes change takes time, but we can begin right away by making sense of what’s going on and finding realistic ways to move forward.

I take a practical, steady approach, backed by over 25 years of experience in mental health.
