Trainee Therapists

My name is Kaoru (Kay). I am from Japan and have been living in the U.S. for 17 years. I am a firm believer in the power of dialogue. An hour of quality dialogue can be a transformative experience of finding a life-long friend or partner.

Hello! Currently I am attending Azusa Pacific University getting a PsyD in Clinical Psychology. I have a passion for helping others which has stemmed from childhood. While getting my master's in forensic psychology, I realized that I wanted to shift towards clinical psychology. I
have previous experience working with diverse populations. I have experience working with adolescents and elder adults dealing with daily life stressors, anxiety, and depression.

Life's journey is filled with challenges that help us grow toward clarity, acceptance, and
understanding. As your therapist, I will support you in navigating through the complexities of
life by providing a safe space to express your thoughts freely. If you are struggling with cycles of distress due to anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-worth, or relationship issues, I would like to collaborate with you on your journey to inner peace.

It's completely okay to take off the mask. It's alright to show that you're not okay on the inside, even if you've been trying to appear fine on the outside. As mothers, students, daughters, sons, and individuals, we often feel immense pressure to always be okay.
It would be wonderful if life came with a guidebook - a manual to help us navigate through our emotions, feelings, and the most difficult aspects of life
