Hi there, I'm Ayako!
I immigrated to the U.S. alone from Japan to attend college and became a therapist to help others navigate life's challenges. I'm also a yoga teacher and sound healer, bringing a holistic perspective to my work with clients seeking support and growth.
My focus
I work with clients facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship issues. My goal is to empower you to create a new, healthy path by exploring underlying challenges and using a mind-body approach. Together, we'll gain insights into your struggles and build the life you want.
My approach
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help you work through depression, anxiety, trauma, life adjustments, and relationship challenges. Self-compassion, self-forgiveness, and self-acceptance are often central to our work together, as I understand how difficult it can be to extend kindness to yourself during hard times.
