Mixed Race & Multiracial Therapists in Vermont

Hi, I'm a Queer fourth-gen Japanese American biracial person and psychotherapist. In our work, I'll support you as a practical, openminded skeptic, to separate the difference between your thoughts, your bodily sensations, the story you tell yourself, and the feelings that affect you. This opens up space for you to get a glimpse of something incredible inside yourself you never knew was there. It can be like the sensation of synchronicity with your elder, wiser self. By leaning into therapy as an experimenter of your own life, you can experience your thought patterns changing before your eyes.
