Hi, I’m Julia
I created Little Satori for people who don’t always feel like they fully belong in one place.
As a biracial Japanese-Brazilian, and an American living in the US for 20 years who has navigated identity, culture, and not fitting neatly into one box, I understand how complex - and sometimes isolating - that experience can feel.
My work is grounded in creating a space where you don’t have to explain or simplify who you are. A space where all parts of you are welcome.
What you might be holding
Experiences many people share when navigating identity, relationships, and belonging.
Identity Confusion
Feeling like you don’t fully belong anywhere - or unsure which parts of you are “allowed” to take up space.
Cultural Pressure
Holding expectations from family, partners, culture, or community that don’t match who you are becoming.
Relationship Disconnection
Struggling to feel understood or fully seen - even in close relationships.
Therapy doesn’t have to feel rushed
Little Satori isn’t about rushing toward answers or trying to “fix” yourself. It’s about creating space to understand what’s already there - gently, and at your own pace.
Not Quick Fixes
Here, we don’t rush to solutions. Meaningful shifts begin with slowing down and making sense of your experience.
Not Performance Based
There’s no pressure to say the “right” things or make quick progress. You don’t have to perform or prove anything here.
Slower, More Attuned Work
We move at a pace that feels right for you - paying attention to what’s subtle, meaningful, and often overlooked.
How I can help
Therapy isn't about becoming someone different. It's about creating space to understand yourself more deeply, navigate life's complexities with greater flexibility, and reconnect with what already exists within you.
Whether you're exploring identity, relationships, cultural experiences, or emotional challenges, we'll work together with curiosity, compassion, and care.
Some things are hard to say in a second language. And some feelings don’t translate at all.
Therapy in your language
Little Satori is a space to express yourself without translating your thoughts or emotions - in a language that carries your nuance, culture, and experience. Speak freely, naturally, and fully - without having to search for the “right” words in another language.
If you feel more at home expressing yourself in Japanese or Portuguese, therapy can happen in the language that feels most natural to you. Because being understood shouldn’t require extra effort.
