ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in New York

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins in a safe and supportive relationship, where you can show up just as you are and feel genuinely seen and understood. Whether you’re moving through anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the weight of cultural and generational trauma, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore your experience with care and curiosity.

You’re not here to be “fixed” because you’re not broken. You’re here to reconnect with your inner wisdom, reclaim clarity, and build a life that feels rooted and whole. I’m here to support you in that process, every step of the way.

As a licensed psychologist in New York and New Jersey, I offer remote individual psychotherapy to adults. My approach is collaborative, and you are an active partner in designing your personal goals. I individualize treatment based on your presenting concerns/needs as well as your unique background and history. Based on my training and experience in a variety of treatment modalities, including CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I use an integrative approach to help you reach your personal goals, which may involve learning skills to manage life’s difficulties and developing greater understanding of yourself.

I have more than 15 years of experience working in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals and schools. As a trained pianist and a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, I also incorporate creative expression in my practice, and my speciality includes issues related to cultural diversity (e.g., LGBTQIA+, Asian American mental health, immigration). As a native of Japan, I am bilingual in Japanese and English, and offer services in both languages.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and DNP with graduate degrees from Molloy University. I have experience working with adolescents and adults facing various complex mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, stress, panic disorders, grief, and relationships concerns, in multiple settings.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing as a Psychotherapist, I believe in prioritizing mental health while also being aware of the mind-body connection. I have been practicing for almost 20 years in the community, local school districts, as well as in private practice. I am shifting my focus to my private practice to help meet the needs of those experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other life transitions in all ages of life (youth and adults).

I truly look forward to working with you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by challenging experiences that hold you back from living a fulfilling life? You're not alone. Many of our struggles can significantly impact our daily well-being. Feeling stressed is a natural human emotion that helps us recognize and respond to potential threats. However, when these feelings becomes excessive and interferes with our daily life, it can be debilitating. Using a solution-focused approach, I focus on desired outcomes and meaningful change while offering specialized guidance in lifestyle shifts to help clients navigate life’s complexities.
