sad but rad therapy

Hi, nice to meet you. I’m Kristel.
I’m a queer Japanese-American therapist with experience
working in LGBTQ+, kink, non-monogamy, and SWer communities.

the authentic self is an accomplishment.

A person with short dark hair, glasses, and earrings, smiling and wearing a blue sweatshirt, black pants, and blue sneakers, standing against a light beige background.

When we talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.

Do I look familiar to you? Hmmm…maybe we’ve met before, or maybe you’ve seen me here, here, or even here. Either way, I’m glad you’re here.
