About Me....

As a half-Japanese individual raised in both Oregon and Hawaii, I've cultivated a profound appreciation for culture, nature, and family. This upbringing has instilled in me a balanced and grounded perspective on life. Being a proud mom and wife to four wonderful children, family remains central to my values.

Living in the countryside brings immense peace and joy, nurturing my love for animals and connection to a simpler, more natural lifestyle. I deeply believe in the healing power of balance between mind, body, and environment, which informs my holistic approach to counseling.

In my free time, I enjoy swimming, hiking, baking, spending quality time with family, and relaxing by the lake—simple pleasures that bring me happiness and renewal.

Education

I graduated from Walla Walla University in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, gaining experience across nearly all areas of nursing. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand Canyon University, focusing on childhood and adolescent disorders, to further enhance my ability to support others effectively.

Resume

"All stress, anxiety, depression, is caused when we ignore who we are, and start living to please others."
