I care deeply about people and animals across the globe.
I'm a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Missouri. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, providing individual, family, and group therapy, as well as psychological assessments for people with depression, anxiety, psychosis, personality disorders, PTSD, and more. In college counseling centers, I have supported clients seeking therapy for personal growth and self-exploration. I use a client-centered approach, integrating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma processing, and solution-focused techniques to tailor treatment to each person's needs.
I was educated in Japan and the U.S., studying in Oregon, Washington, and California. I earned an APA-accredited doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology, specializing in cross-cultural and international psychology. I value cultural diversity and am published in human-animal interactions and international psychology.
Through therapy, I aim to support your personal growth and help you lead a fulfilling life. I am committed to being a steady source of support during difficult times, helping you strengthen your coping skills and cultivate a renewed sense of hope, purpose, and meaning in life.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Kansas City, MO provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Kansas City is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.
As we all know, life isn’t exactly a walk in the park. Even the people who seem to have it all together are struggling with obstacles in their lives. It could be from struggles with personal goals, challenges at work, or even conflicts in our relationships. Are you:

They can help you figure out your priorities, manage stressors, and overcome obstacles. Here at Thriveworks Counseling in Kansas City, MO, our team of psychologists is dedicated to providing you with complete comprehensive care every step of the way.
There is nothing stronger than saying, “I need help.” Whether you need a little guidance in making big decisions or want to learn ways to communicate more effectively in your relationships, a psychologist at our office can help you. To get started, just give us a call.
As we briefly touched on, psychologists are trained mental health professionals who specialize in a variety of fields. Psychologists can assist you with everything from mental illnesses to support in making big decisions. They utilize various methods and techniques to help their clients achieve their goals and work through the problems standing in their way.
Talk therapy is the most traditional and common form of therapy. This is when you sit down with your therapist to talk about how you feel, what you’re facing, and what your goals are. You might be asked to address a phobia or stressor in order to work through your thoughts and reactions. In other instances, you could be rewarding positive behavior or thoughts to train your brain to shift its focus.
Your licensed psychologist might utilize the above methods as well as any others they might see fit for your situation. Psychologists do not prescribe their clients medication. Suppose you and your therapist feel like you might benefit from taking a medication. In that case, they’ll work closely with your primary care provider or psychiatrist to ensure the correct medication is prescribed for your needs.
A psychologist can work with you through a multitude of areas concerning your mental health and overall wellbeing. Some of the more common reasons why we see clients here at Thriveworks in Kansas City include:
