Introduction

I’m Aki, LMHCA, at Catalyst Counseling, and I work with teens (15+), adults, and seniors. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore life transitions, work-related stress, perfectionism, and social concerns at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is grounded in genuine connection and curiosity, supporting you in building insight, confidence, and meaningful change. I specialize in social anxiety, perfectionism, work stress, and burnout, life transitions, and the college experience. I am bilingual in English and Japanese, and I currently offer online sessions.
