Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 15 years as a journalist in Tokyo and New York, where I cultivated a deep understanding of diverse cultural and social dynamics. I hold degrees in law (Kumamoto University, Japan) and sociology (City University of New York) and have a strong interest in the intersection of psychology and social justice. I am passionate about advocating for marginalized communities, including First Nations peoples, BIPOC, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others affected by systemic inequality.

My path to counseling was deeply shaped by my personal experience. In 2011, after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster, I and my family relocated to Seattle in search of safety. During that challenging transition, I experienced firsthand the toll that trauma and uncertainty can take on mental health. Through this, I discovered a calling to support others navigating trauma―from natural disasters to relationship violence―and help them rediscover safety, hope, and resilience.
