About

I am originally from Japan and received my Bachelor's degree in Social Work at Ritsumeikan Unievrsity, Kyoto, Japan in 2011.

I moved to America myself and obtained my master's degree in Professional Counseling at Lindenwood University in 2014.

I am currently working on my second master's in Special Education with a concentration of Autism Spectrum Disorders.

One of my life goals is to bring back knowledge and professional experiences in Mental Health and Special Education fields to my country, Japan where is behind and many people are suffering due to lack of adequete supports and resources in these areas.
