About
She specializes in working with anxiety, child-related issues, and depression. With nearly two decades of experience, Wakana has worked with a wide range of populations, including children in foster care, adoptive and foster parents, and youths in group homes. Her unique perspective as a first-generation immigrant from Japan allows her to support immigrant students, adults, and those raised by immigrant parents. Wakana offers virtual and in-person therapy sessions, creating a reflective space for her clients to explore their autonomy and make choices that enhance their quality of life. She empowers individuals to build emotional resilience and self-trust, guiding them to integrate their experiences and move forward with a renewed sense of purpose. Wakana's approach is centered on empowering those who feel they have lost their voice or sense of self, helping them to make sense of their stories and write their future with a new perception gained from their work together.
