Meet Hana

Originally from Japan, Hana understands the struggles immigrants face when starting a new life in Canada. She has personally experienced feeling unheard, isolated, and being "out of place." She uses these experiences to listen and empathize with her clients' stories. Hana specializes in relationship challenges.

My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
  • Childhood trauma
  • Family challenges - especially parents or primary caregivers or siblings 
  • Relationship challenges - romantic or friendship 
  • Self expression, suppressed emotions 
  • Breakups and how to move on for positive step 
  • Breaking habits 
  • Self damaging behaviours 
  • Cultural challenges - feeling inferior of others, fear of interacting with different ethnicities 
  • BIPOC - especially East asians 
  • School trauma - discipline from teacher, left out of the class, bullied, teased 
  • ESL challenges - fear of being judged or misunderstood, working with native speakers
My cultural or ancestral background is…
  • Asian immigrant 
  • Japanese
  • Inter-racial marriage

My work as a therapist is inspired by (not limited to)...
My clients describe me using words like…
