*Fill out the contact form to join the waitlist.* Maybe you’ve checked all the boxes, met the expectations, and understand exactly why you feel this way—but you still feel stuck.Or maybe your body feels constantly on edge, overwhelmed by the quiet pressure to hold everything together for everyone else. Hi, I’m Mary. I specialize in supporting multicultural women heal from complex trauma and complicated grief. Using psychodynamic and somatic, body-centered approaches, including EMDR, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems, we gently work beneath the surface, accessing the deeper layers where lasting change and healing can take root. As a biracial, 1.75-generation Japanese American woman, I bring both lived experience and clinical training into the therapy space. I understand that healing does not happen outside of culture, family, expectations, identity, belonging, or the struggle of living "in-between" worlds. Therapy with me is centered around helping you feel more grounded in your body, clearer about your own needs, and confident showing up as your full, untranslated self. If you are ready for something different — something that listens to both your story and your nervous system — I invite you to fill out the contact form to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you.
