Introduction

As a Filipino-American & first-generation therapist, I strive to create a space that allows you to open up about your mental health within a supportive and productive environment — one that meets you where you are in life. I work with clients who may feel stuck or are finding their footing during periods of uncertainty. Whether you are balancing family expectations, navigating academic or career transitions, or simply seeking direction, my goal is to help you rediscover your roots and grow into the life you desire. I use an approach that combines existential, cognitive-behavioral, and culturally sensitive techniques to assess negative thoughts and incorporate your personal values and beliefs. In our work together, I'll collaborate with you as we navigate these obstacles while integrating a direct approach to make sure you are seeing meaningful progress. As a former client in my own therapy, I understand what it means to enter a therapeutic space to try to find the support that you need. My goal is to help you feel seen and heard as you navigate your own unique path moving forward, as you deserve to have mental health treatment that is directly tailored to you.
