Kaori Oto, Psychotherapist
Save your time for the most important relationship
Perhaps you are struggling in a relationship, not able to communicate or stuck in negative patterns. Drifting apart, you yearn for intimacy and being desired. You wonder if you should go or stay when trust is gone. Or you may need to find your voice and create boundaries. Maybe you're an overachiever or your inner-critic has exhausted you, anxiety is finally too much. The relational conflict is starting to affect every area of your life. You are looking for a therapist who can understand you and guide you through to the other side.
Asking for help could turn the hardship into a growth opportunity. Communication is not a gift, but a skill. I help couples and individuals to de-escalate the conflict and rebuild intimacy. Exploring untouched territory, you'll find it's easier to relate, forgive, and to regain trust and commit once again.
I am reminded everyday how resilient we are, we know how to love and how to heal. If your relationship is worth fighting for, I would love to hear from you. All couples and individuals are welcome.
A great deal of conflict is about the conversation a couple never had.
-Wile
The majority of couples separate without having a conversation. That is the tragedy, more than the separation itself. Then, how do you know you can make it through in the next love?
How do you create a quality relationship? How do you determine your partner is "the one"? Is it possible to feel that closeness once again?
These questions are not easy to ask or answer. That is why I am passionate about helping couples to have that conversation. I also offer an essential relationship package to an emerging couple and those who are looking to build relationship skills for a lasting future.
Be your best self.
That is the secret of cultivating deep and lasting friendships and relationships. Yet if you have experienced relational traumas, family conflicts, discrimination, identity crisis, low-self esteem, anxiety, or depression, being your true self takes effort and can feel unsafe.
How do you cultivate your most important relationship, supporting yourself?
That is the focus of therapy with me. Therapy is a place where you can unleash feelings of confusion, loneliness, and anger, and where you re-define who you are. You don't have to struggle alone.
Will you let me be a part of your journey?
