I have been trained in expressive arts therapy and is a certified gestalt therapist. I utilizes the arts according to each person’s abilities to imagine and develop body awareness. My eclectic approach suits people who seek to find themselves in mental health. As a blind Japanese immigrant, I work especially well with differently-abled people and Pan Asians.
I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration, discovery, and healing. By utilizing unconditional positive acceptance, my goal is to help clients add to their social and emotional knowledge so they can navigate through difficulties in ways that foster self-esteem, well-being, and growth.
I am a New York state and New Jersey state licensed clinical psychologist. I received my doctorate in psychology from Long Island University-Post. I completed an APA accredited internship from Mt. Sinai Services-Elmhurst Hospital Center. I received postdoctoral training from New York University Counseling and Wellness Services. I specialize in working with adults with concerns regarding career, relationships, life transitions, identity, anxiety, eating disorder/body image, and grief/loss.
I’m a psychoanalyst. That means I practice highly individualized talk therapy focused on personal growth. I work primarily with people in their 20s through 50s who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship problems. I trained at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies, where I gained practical experience working therapeutically with people from all walks of life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Brooklyn
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Brooklyn starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Affirming providers have training and experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals — they understand concerns like coming out, identity exploration, discrimination, relationship dynamics, and the ways these intersect with anxiety, depression, and trauma. You can look for providers who list LGBTQIA+ care as a specialty and read their bios to learn about their approach before reaching out.
Brooklyn is home to a large and diverse community of mental health providers, but narrowing your search can still feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who shares your identity or background, offers both in-person and virtual sessions, or specializes in a specific area like couples therapy or medication management. A free phone consultation can help you gauge whether a provider feels like the right match before you commit to a full session.
Therapy in New York City can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who is both affirming and affordable.
