About
Mission
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), mother, climber, Japanese-American, and life-long Southern Californian. I have worked in the behavioral health field since 2008 after attaining my Bachelors of Arts with an emphasis in Social Welfare from University of California, Berkeley. From UC Berkeley, I learned the importance of employing data and thinking critically about how our society is structured. I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from California State University, Long Beach, in 2013. At Long Beach State, I cemented my passion for working with those who are underserved and struggling with severe challenges.
I deeply believe that improving people’s mental health is vital to having healthier communities and building a more hopeful future for next generations. With that purpose in mind, I strive to do all that I can to support the people I work with with authenticity and care. Beginning in 2021, I was in a more administrative role, but continued to enjoy providing direct services to people who were affected by natural and human-made disasters, as well as supporting individuals who were exiting far-right extremist ideologies.
