I am an experienced Mental Health Counselor with an international background in clinical psychology and research. I am deeply committed to provide help during difficult phases of a person's life journey. I specialize in working with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, identity crisis, and bereavement. I am also experienced in working with couples and the specific challenges they encounter in their relationship.
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 believe the potential for healing is inherently human - and incredibly accessible. My goal is to partner with you in looking at your Life-Story and to identify and evolve past wounds or challenges holding you back from a peaceful way of being. I've been practicing for over 20 years and specialize in anxiety, depression and trauma.
I work with people who are stuck at certain crossroads in their life. Typically, the external problems seem to solve themselves once therapy reaches a certain point. This applies to work, relationships, life goals, and creative pursuits. My job is to help you transform mental or physical pain into something that is bearable and makes life worth living.
I work with a wide range of clients.
I welcome any questions you have. Feel free to give me a call or email with any questions you have about starting therapy.
When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Long Island City, NY
Searching for therapists in Long Island City starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s profile can help you understand what they focus on and what sessions may be like.
In Long Island City, your search may include offices near Hunters Point, Court Square, Queens Plaza, or nearby parts of Queens. Local appointment options may be limited by schedule, commute, and availability, so virtual therapy can help expand your choices. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions close to transit or virtual appointments that fit your calendar. You can also narrow your search by therapists accepting new clients, evening or weekend availability, free phone consultations, and the communication style described in each bio.
Therapy in Long Island City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find licensed therapists, many of whom accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
