About me
I specialize in helping clients acquire mindfulness-based mental skills to better manage stress & anxiety and overcome symptoms of depression. My clinical experience includes 8 years in outpatient psychiatric clinics, and I come to believe in the power of self-compassion as the driving force for achieving personal goals and well-being. I’m a native of Japan, and my engaging style of therapy draws upon cross-disciplinary education and background in martial arts, yoga, and Zen practice. Please refer to my website, www.okadalink.com, for more information, and find out if I’m the right therapist for you.
