Introduction

As a Filipino-American & first-generation therapist, I see how addressing your mental health can be scary and overwhelming, especially the most intimate parts of your life. I strive to create a space that is free of that pressure and one that utilizes your worldview to see meaningful progress. Whether you are balancing cultural or family expectations, finding a sense of direction, or facing academic or career transitions, I support you along your journey to rediscover the best version of yourself. I use a culturally sensitive, CBT & existential approach to help you adjust to the burdens that life may bring. In our treatment together, I'll collaborate with you as we navigate these obstacles, while integrating the cultural values and personal beliefs that are most important to you. As a former client of 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, and to help you achieve success along your own unique journey with mental health.
