I am integrative, meaning I draw from what I’ve learned and what I’m trained in to suit you. I am not afraid to challenge and question you. I bring my authentic self as a therapist in sessions and encourage you to do the same.

figure out what’s blocking you from being your best self and provide you with tools to help live your best life. I’ll help you examine unhelpful thoughts and work with you on how to shift them to help transform your whole being.

down-to-earth, compassionate, and warm. I have also been told that I am a good introduction into therapy!

… take care of others but don’t seem to provide the same care for themselves (and sometimes feel resentment about it); are having a “quarter life/mid-life crisis”; are going through major life transitions; wonder how their current needs may clash with their culture and/or upbringing; are first-timers in therapy.

I was always a better listener than I was a talker and I got joy from helping others. I also enjoy putting pieces of stories, puzzles, etc together, and helping people do that for their own lives is awesome. I also want to de-stigmatize going to therapy and help recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health.

I’m a first generation Filipina-American who understands the challenges with integrating more than one culture into one’s life. I am easy going, conversational, and am not afraid to enjoy humor in sessions. I have lived experience as a mother and eldest daughter.
