Welcome. You have arrived. Now what? Something brought you here. Perhaps the burden of pain that weighs on your body, mind and spirit. What is the nature of this pain? How is it impacting different parts of your life, your sense of identity, your relationships, your sense and purpose as a human being? Psychotherapy is an offering, a kind of healing art, a form of medicine that may help transform various symptoms of pain, manifesting in unhealthy, hurtful or even harmful thoughts and behaviors into something more healthy, wholesome and functional.

Are you a burned out, high-achieving woman of color? Does it seem like you are constantly overwhelmed and have been putting your mental health last on your “to do” list? Are you struggling with placing healthy boundaries and making yourself a priority? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. I know seeking help can be hard.

I conduct therapy sessions in English, though I speak conversational Tagalog and Cantonese.
My approach to therapy begins with evidence-based treatment, addressing the immediate reasons you’re seeking support, followed by deeper work with the subconscious once your day to day becomes more stable. Together we can return agency to your life by collaborating on tangible solutions while uncovering the origin of limiting beliefs. I work with couples and individuals to recalibrate patterns of behavior that leave them struggling with depression, anxiety, co-dependency, or substance use.

Beyond being a therapist, I'm a daughter raised in a Filipino-American immigrant family, a wife, a mom to two active young kids and a travel enthusiast.
We all go through difficulties at one point or another in our lives. It is natural to seek out connection and validation when we feel vulnerable. Rather than navigating these challenges on your own, therapy provides an opportunity where you can get support and learn new ways of coping to make meaningful changes in your life. In therapy, I create a supportive and safe space to help individuals process their current struggles and share their personal experiences in order to find healing and transformation.

Ngunit hindi ko mababago kung paano mangyayari ang ating buhay, bakat' naman mabago natin ang ugali kung saan nagdudurot ng parusa at paghihirap.
