Welcome!

I’m Ayaka, a Japanese-American therapist based in New York City.

Thank you for your interest in working together! I specialize in supporting clients who often find themselves burnt out from always feeling like the “dependable” and “responsible” one. Based on my experience in the corporate sector, I particularly enjoy working with high-achieving adults struggling with perfectionism and people-pleasing behaviors, especially as these challenges often show up in their work and relationships.

You can meet me in my cozy office (pictured below!) in Herald Square, or through remote sessions from the comfort of your own home.

SPECIALIZATIONS
