As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and first-generation Filipino American, I bring a culturally sensitive approach to guiding individuals toward healing, resilience, and personal growth. I specialize in trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), EMDR, and Brainspotting—advanced, evidence-based interventions designed to address the root causes of trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression. With experience working with individuals from various backgrounds, I’m passionate about helping clients process life-altering events, break free from past trauma, challenge unhelpful core beliefs, and manage ongoing stress. My mission is to empower clients to build meaningful lives and strengthen their relationships. Are you feeling stuck under the weight of addiction, anxiety, or depression? Are past traumas keeping you from living the life you want? You do not need to go through each day merely trying to survive —you can thrive in life! Therapy is a compassionate, non-judgmental space where healing can flourish, and you can learn to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and self-awareness. Healing is possible, with just a little persistence, and hope. I am here to support you every step of the way!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first appointment is an Intake session and I will gather general information, health history, discuss troubling symptoms, inquire about current life stressors, and review therapy rules. We will also begin discussing future therapy goals. The Intake session can help us get to know each other to see if we are an appropriate fit. If we are not a good match, I can assist in putting a referral with another therapist, or specialist, that can meet your needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths are my ability to build trust with clients while providing compassion and empathy. I provide a culturally sensitive lens and am able to connect with clients from all walks of life, various socioeconomic backgrounds, and understand the experience of children immigrants.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am passionate in helping clients that are motivated to put in the effort, time, and energy towards their own healing. I work with adults and provide individual therapy to those who are ready to commit to their own personal growth.
