I work with creative professionals who want to become less anxious and more emotionally regulated. Being a creative in LA while struggling with depression and anxiety can quickly lead to burnout, this makes building a successful career really challenging. Many of my clients come to me because they are feeling stuck in their careers or overwhelmed with the projects and opportunities in front of them. I’ve seen it possible for creatives just like you, whether you are a filmmaker, writer, or editor, to have huge success and stability in your life through therapy.

Do you feel like aspects of your life have been unconsciously avoided but are now seeping through cracks? As a second generation Filipina-American, I view therapy as an opportunity to create a new blueprint on how you want to live your most meaningful life. From navigating my own journey in mental health, I have learned to be grateful for my emotions and to move towards the uncomfortable. I believe building awareness and by simply being curious around the uncomfortable parts of your life may provide an emotional understanding that could help you feel reconnected to your self.

You are driven and ambitious, but lately you have been feeling anxious and disconnected from yourself and your relationships. On the outside, it seems like you have it all together. You excel in your professional and/or academic life, and people perceive you as responsible and hard working. But, on the inside, you feel anxious and on high-alert, searching for what could go wrong. You feel as though your worthiness depends upon your productivity. You’re doing so much, but you feel empty and misaligned. Maybe you even notice anxiety showing up in your romantic life. You crave intimacy and connection, but don't know how to get there.

In my private practice, I treat issues of anxiety and panic, past trauma, and sexual dysfunction. While our past can sometimes weigh down our present, my clients and I work together to address, process, and move through issues that might hold them back. Identifying emotions, connecting them to the body, and developing resources to endure the more difficult experiences of life is a primary focus of our collaborative work.

Psychotherapy has a lot to offer to people at any stage in their lives, particularly when they’re going through challenging times. Challenges arise from things that are out of our control and from trauma that we hold from past experiences. Many times, we’re not even aware of what got us to what we are experiencing in the present moment. We’re “stuck” and we don’t know why or we may not even realize we’re “stuck”.

Many of us are shaped by our experiences and aren't fully aware of the effects these experiences have in our everyday lives and relationships. We question our feelings, our thoughts and our reactions. But, they all tell a story. Our approach to treatment is attachment-based and client-centered. The emphasis is placed on exploring your values, experiences and what is important to you. Sometimes speaking to family and friends just isn't enough. We can help guide you through the process of knowing yourself and being able to understand, accept and express your emotions.

Welcome. I work primarily with couples and couples who are parents. Parenting and marriage play significant roles in our lives and they got harder during Covid. New parents especially are coping with topics that their relatives and friends with older children may have a hard time relating to. I am here to help new parents and couples navigate this transition time as individuals, partners, and parents. I rely heavily on attachment theory, Gottman method techniques for couples and raising emotionally intelligent children, and mindfulness.

Everyone experiencing a depth of suffering needs a helping hand. Whether from external circumstances, internal conflict, or both, the presence of suffering is overwhelming. It is a burden that must be shared to be overcome. When suffering is particularly intense, it is difficult to know how share, as well as how to bridge periods when isolation seems deafening. It's a chasm, and people 'over there', it seems, could help. But hope still dwindles. A series of thoughts/feelings jumble themselves into a relentless cacophony. Christian include an odd mix of comfort and religeous jargon that adds distress. These are are my clients.

I help adults make sense of their experiences in a meaningful way. People come to me who are inquisitive and trying their best, yet still feel detached and longing for a better understanding of their lives. Oftentimes they’ve been in the driver’s seat going 100 miles an hour for years and can’t quite figure out how to slow down. Together, we work to slow fast-paced life, be present, and ultimately, see the once-blurry scenes in a clearer way. Just as each road trip is unique, so too is our tailor-made therapy. If you’re open-minded, motivated, and filled with curiosity, let’s see if we’re a good match!

I’m passionate about helping women transform their lives. Supporting them on their path to growth and healing. Being a woman in today’s modern world is hard.

We often go through life transitions unaware of how the past might still have a hold on us. Sometimes we simply need to take a moment to reflect on how experiences and relationships have shaped our perception of ourselves and situations. Processing how past traumas are linked to the present can help us to recover, heal, and to understand how behavior patterns and responses are formed in the first place so that we can change for the better.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
