ยป About me
I am an accredited psychotherapist in Japan. I provide individual psychotherapy and couple therapy to adults and adolescents. I also have many years of experience in multicultural counseling. My main therapeutic approach is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which is focused on helping people with specific problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, ADHD, PTSD and couple distress. My constant goal is to help people become the actor of their own lives again, rather than being at the mercy of their suffering. And if I consider that you need medical support, I can refer you to psychiatric clinics.
