More about me
Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 15 State: Illinois
Is fear of the unknown making you anxious? When do you feel lonely and sad? What makes you stressed out or angry? What are the reasons why you think you are not good? You are good. Life is just full of difficulties.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois. I have provided therapy to individuals with various backgrounds and issues. Growing up in Japan and conducting therapy in the US for over 15 years, my insight into the problems we face in this society is unique while integrating Eastern and Western philosophies. Also, by providing therapy to people at risk in a law enforcement agency, I am fully aware of social injustice, discrimination, institutional racism as well as what law enforcement staff and their families go through.
In our current situation with the pandemic, violence and disunity, our collective goal is to bring peace into ourselves and to others by self-reflecting and improving ourselves. The focus is on you. I believe that you want to have the best and happiest life you can possibly have. With my unique techniques and experience, I can help you achieve that goal.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
