About me
I am a Somatic Psychotherapist specializing in working with clients who are experiencing PTSD, complex PTSD, OCD, anxiety, depression, anger, and deep sadness. My practice focuses on helping individuals heal from emotional distress by integrating both the mind and body in the therapeutic process.
I am a Somatic Psychotherapist practicing Somatic Psychotherapy, an approach that integrates the mind and body through methods such as EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
I began my clinical work as a Clinical Psychologist in Japan in 1996. Currently, I am dedicated to supporting clients in both Japan and the United States on their healing journey, addressing deep-seated emotional and somatic challenges often seen in complex PTSD, as they commit to personal growth and recovery.
