Are you feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from yourself? Do you find it challenging to navigate your experiences as an LGBTQIA+ person in today's world? Are you struggling to heal from trauma or grief? If any of these resonate with you, know that you're not alone—and that there is hope for healing and growth.
I’m trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy—a unique approach that can help you understand and heal the wounded parts within yourself. I have 4 years of experience in both private practice and school-based settings. I specialize in supporting teens, young adults, and adults who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community and those experiencing trauma and grief.
In our therapeutic relationship, you'll have a safe space to connect with and understand yourself, challenge negative beliefs you may have about yourself, and change how you interact with the world. As a queer and Filipino-American therapist, I recognize that everyone is an expert on their own experience, and I strive to create an affirming practice.
