I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience providing therapy for individuals, couples, and families navigating complex life transitions, emotional challenges, and relationship struggles.

I specialize in couples therapy and relationship counseling, with a focus on helping adult partners rebuild connection, repair trust, and resolve recurring conflicts. Whether you're navigating communication breakdowns or the pain of betrayal, including infidelity, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space for healing and reconnection.

As a queer, cisgender Japanese-American woman, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to my work. I’m deeply attuned to the nuances of multicultural family dynamics, gender identity, and neurodiversity—both personally and professionally—as a parent, co-parent, and partner.

My Approach

Trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and tailored to each client’s unique goals. I’m trained in:

• Gottman Method (Level 2) for evidence-based couples counseling

• EMDR therapy for trauma and PTSD

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

• Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB)

I also integrate mindfulness, polyvagal theory, and somatic practices to support nervous system regulation and sustainable emotional healing.

I offer both in-person therapy in Sacramento, CA and secure virtual sessions across California, including traditional 50-minute appointments and extended formats for deeper therapeutic work.

If you're seeking a compassionate, experienced therapist to support your healing, relationship repair, or personal growth, I invite you to reach out today for a free consultation.

I’m a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and social worker with a deep passion for helping people reconnect with their truth and move forward with clarity, courage, and purpose. I specialize in executive and life coaching for highly sensitive people (HSPs), empaths, and those navigating major life transitions or identity exploration.

Gentle, affirming, and deeply intuitive. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore what’s holding you back, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and take aligned steps toward a more authentic, fulfilling life.

As a highly sensitive person and empath, I understand firsthand how overwhelming the world can feel—and how vital it is to have a space where you are seen, heard, and valued. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating a major shift, or craving a deeper sense of meaning, I will walk beside you with empathy, curiosity, and care.

Together, we will:

• Identify the patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you

• Explore your evolving identity with compassion and curiosity

• Rewrite the narratives that have held you back

• Create sustainable, value-aligned goals for personal growth

I offer virtual coaching sessions for clients across the U.S., designed to meet you where you are and support your growth at your own pace.

If you're seeking a trauma-aware, identity-affirming coach to guide and support your personal transformation, I’d be honored to work with you.

Reach out today to schedule a free consultation and take the first step toward the life you truly desire.
