Welcome to Cross-Cultural Therapist!
Feeling underappreciated, trapped, exhausted, or irritable?
Do you find yourself…
· Helping others even when you are exhausted?
· Smiling when you are feeling sad?
· Hiding your true feelings?
· Feeling that you need to be strong for your loved ones?
Most of us are hard-working productive members of our society and multitask many responsibilities at home and work. “Life is good, and I should be grateful.” So, you may feel guilty that you are complaining about the deep sense of dissatisfaction, resentment and frustration, or a lack of connection with your loved ones. You are not sure why you are feeling this way when you should be happy.
Please do not think you are the only person feeling that way. Each one of us has become who we are today through nature and nurture - the genes inherited from our ancestors and the upbringing that shaped us by our parents or caretakers. And, last but not least, you have your own unique soul and spirit that is authentic to you. You are not simply a product of nature and nurture. You are a very unique individual with your own feelings, drives and dreams. If you have been feeling ambivalent indescribable discomfort and a sense of “I’m not sure of myself”, please know that many people are experiencing these same feelings, and it may be a sign that your inner-self is reaching out for you to find the “authentic you”.
As your psychotherapist, I respect who you are, what you would like to accomplish, and where you want to start in therapy.
In addition to the above specialties, I offer bilingual counseling in Japanese and English.
Call me for a brief consultation at 949-533-5389. I will be glad to answer any questions and concerns you may have about counseling.
