A space to feel home

Counseling for First Generation Immigrant

Living in a foreign country as a first generation immigrant can be exciting and anxiety provoking at the same time.

Pressure of building a life without much guidance in a new environment might be making you feel frustrated, challenged, and isolated.

Regardless of the lengths of time you live in the States, the feeling of not truly belonging anywhere might be always in your mind.

Language is another barrier that might be making you feel less confident about yourself.

Finding your authentic self, navigating through various challenges independently, while staying true to the culture of your community in a foreign country is an endless journey.

Living Away from Home

Living in the US as a first generation Asian immigrant, I have empathy and compassion for someone like you who has been hustling and bustling to establish your life away from your home country.

I hold a safe space for you and help you to release the pressure off of your shoulder while navigating through various life challenges.

I am here for you

My Background as a First Generation Immigrant

I am originally from Japan and have been in the States for almost 20 years. I’ve been navigating through my own life living internationally, and understand what it is like to live in a non-home country.

Cultural identity is important for me, and to me, Taiko drumming is a way of keeping connected with my cultural roots. Taiko gives me so much joy not only through playing but also through the human connection.

I speak both Japanese and English and provide bilingual therapy services as requested.
