Perhaps, you’ve heard yourself say to yourself: • I’ve struggled with anxiety all my life. • I feel so overwhelmed with my emotions, I don't know what to do. • I’m tired of over-thinking. • I struggle with chronic pain, and I'm so tired of it. • I have so much built up anger. • I can see myself reacting the exact same way my parents did to me, and I want to break the cycle. You are not alone if you find yourself feeling this way. These are common painful human experiences. The truth is that we are not meant to carry pain, and I want to help carry it with you.
When you work with me, we bring our attention to the experience of your emotions in your body. You may see me interrupt you at times so you don't get stuck in your stories, and I help you to access your emotions deep down, relationally, together. My hope is that you will have a new experience of yourself and re-discover who you truly are.
Aside from being a Therapist and Art Therapist, I’m an imperfect human, just like you, who loves to connect with others at a deep human level. Some call me a “Pacific-Rim” – I grew up in Japan until I was 15 and moved around the world on my own before settling here in the Fraser Valley, where I live with my family. I look forward to connecting with you.
