Hi there, I'm Miki!

Starting therapy takes courage, and I want you to feel welcomed and supported from our very first conversation. I work with clients from all walks of life in both English and Japanese. I believe you are not defined by your challenges or your past, but by the resilience and strength that brought you here.

My focus

I work with adults facing life’s changes and challenges—whether that’s anxiety, burnout, transitions, or health-related stress. I also support people navigating cross-cultural experiences or looking for a space where both differences and common struggles are understood.

My approach

I approach therapy with genuine curiosity and respect for each person’s story and cultural background. Having lived between cultures myself, I bring a sense of cultural humility and deep listening to my work. My approach is holistic and strengths-based, informed by evidence-based therapies.
