Hi there! I am a second-generation Filipinx-American therapist from Union City and based in Los Angeles, California. With experience in the home, school, and medical settings, I have provided 1:1 therapy, family counseling, support groups, Mental Health First Aid training, coalition-building, and supervision for clinicians and interns as the clinical program manager for a non-profit agency. With the understanding that wellness is holistic and the arts are healing, I am inspired by people’s stories and believe in the therapeutic elements of self-expression for personal growth and greater social change.

Do you constantly worry about different things? are you tired of overthinking? Do you want to process a painful life event that has left you hurt or afraid? Do you want to make sense of how to align with your values and beliefs? Are you wondering why your relationship is not working out or if you should stay together? You've had enough of the same patterns and are ready to make some changes in your life. Does your child have frequent emotional outbursts? Does your child/ teen have social anxiety? I see adults, teens, and children who deal w/ anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, phobias, selective mutism, low self esteem, grief, and ADHD.

I’m a psychotherapist who works best helping goal-oriented, high-functioning clients get results through deep, exploratory work while providing tools and insights that bring about change. I create a safe, open space where clients can fully explore their inner world and how it influences their actions and behavior, especially in parts where they feel stuck. It is my goal to help clients be fully aware of their internal processes in order to create authentic and meaningful lives. My practice is focused on working with adults in individual therapy.

Together, we will support the changes you want to make by first understanding more of who you are and what's important to you. We will take our time to reflect on your experiences with self-worth, overthinking, and/or grief to reveal helpful elements that have may gone unnoticed in your story so far -qualities and strengths you can apply in order to take that next step. By collaborating on effective solutions, we will come up with a clearer sense of what you need to experience a greater sense of connection with the people, values, strengths, cultures, relationships, and communities aligned with your life goals.

As a black therapist in Los Angeles, I understand what it is like to navigate both the beauty and challenges of being a POC. I help those who want to unpack their racial/cultural experiences and are looking for a culturally competent therapist. I guide BIPOC professionals in their careers, helping you find fulfillment and work-life balance. If you want to find solace and understanding, I’m here to help. In addition, I support interracial couples in navigating challenges in communication and bridging the gap between each of your experiences.

Life can be complicated, and there isn’t a handbook for managing issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationships. It’s important to know that you’re not alone, and these challenges are opportunities for growth. You’re probably here because you feel it’s time to “do something different.” Let our team at Meridian Counseling guide you on this journey.

I believe our lived experiences and hopes for the future provide us with insights to help understand our pain, joy, struggles, triumphs, and deepest questions. The late poet and essayist Audre Lorde reminds us that "our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge." Using an intersectional, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed framework, I embark on a collaborative journey with clients who want to reflect on their experiences and unpack symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and trauma that may impact their relationships and daily lives.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges? Feel burdened by thoughts of the future or haunted by the past? Struggling with negative self-talk, unhealthy behavior, and low self-esteem? I offer a Client Centered approach and a safe space to process your thoughts and emotions. I provide therapeutic support during your journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing. I strive for collaboration in creating a therapeutic plan that will fit your unique needs towards achieving your personal goals.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California. I have been practicing for 23+ years both in the public and private sectors.

Hello! I am dedicated and compassionate therapist specializing in helping adult individuals and couples navigate the complexities of life. Whether you are seeking help with anxiety, identity development, life transitions, or relationship issues, I am here to support you on your journey toward growth and healing.

BIPOC - Have you experienced loss or adjusting to change? Life comes with loss and change: the death of a loved one, the loss of health, a break-up. Dealing with any loss and adjusting to major change often negatively affects us, and our emotional well-being and coping habits are sometimes compromised as a result. It is easy to fall into depression or develop anxiety if our coping is not managed and nurtured appropriately. I’m glad you are taking steps to process what change or loss means to you. As an Asian American Filipina, I provide culturally competent therapy services to those managing dual/multi cultural/BIPOC identities.

My approach is nurturing, collaborative, and client-centered. As an Asian immigrant, I recognize and appreciate how culture can be a powerful force that influences the way we think and shapes the way we understand ourselves, our emotions, and our life circumstances. Our work together will involve strategies that will help you gain awareness, knowledge, and skills to help improve your life in a manner that is consistent with your personal values and life experiences.
