About
I care deeply about people and animals across the globe.
I'm a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Missouri. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, providing individual, family, and group therapy, as well as psychological assessments for people with depression, anxiety, psychosis, personality disorders, PTSD, and more. In college counseling centers, I have supported clients seeking therapy for personal growth and self-exploration. I use a client-centered approach, integrating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma processing, and solution-focused techniques to tailor treatment to each person's needs.
I was educated in Japan and the U.S., studying in Oregon, Washington, and California. I earned an APA-accredited doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology, specializing in cross-cultural and international psychology. I value cultural diversity and am published in human-animal interactions and international psychology.
Through therapy, I aim to support your personal growth and help you lead a fulfilling life. I am committed to being a steady source of support during difficult times, helping you strengthen your coping skills and cultivate a renewed sense of hope, purpose, and meaning in life.

Anxiety is more than just occasional moments of anxiousness in new situations or worry when facing the unknown. Depression is more than simply being tired at the end of your work day or fatigued after an argument. They are mood disorders characterized by intrusive thoughts bombarding you over a prolonged period of time, thoughts that make it hard to have a “regular” day.
If you are struggling with constant feelings of fear or annoyance, feelings that seem to annoy you incessantly crowd out others thoughts from your mind, you may be struggling with anxiety, depression or both. And you would benefit from talking to a mental health professional who specializes in anxiety and/or depression.
Research shows there are several things that can lead to anxiety and depression. Though these issues may not be direct causes, there is evidence to indicate that people who have these challenges may be more susceptible to developing mood disorders. These issues can include:
Living with anxiety and depression isn’t easy. Each condition can cloud your judgment, and warp how you see your life. Anxiety always has you constantly on alert, questioning what’s happening around you. You’re ceaselessly searching for the critical element in a friend’s statement, the critique of your efforts, unable to see the complement they provided in the way they meant it. Depression saps away the joy from every event and each occasion. You feel constantly weighted down, struggling to find the energy you need to get through each day. Together, anxiety and depression darken your vision and keep you from seeing the real life you have.
