I work primarily with teens and adults and specialize in a variety of presenting concerns: stress/anxiety, depression, grief/loss, PTSD/ trauma, body image/disordered eating, relationship difficulties/boundaries, career/life transitions. Some of us enter therapy with very specific goals, other times the goals become more clear as therapy progresses. Either way, something that is necessary is an openness and willingness to participate. I understand that therapy can be overwhelming in the beginning, and that is why my goal is first and foremost to always ensure that you as the client feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

I specialize in working with mothers who experience treatment resistant depression or anxiety after birth (many of whom have also experienced trauma).
Has motherhood not been what you expected it would be? Maybe you are finding yourself wondering if being a mom is supposed to be this hard or if there is something wrong with you. Maybe you had a horrible event happen during your pregnancy or birth. Maybe you just know that you are not feeling like the best version of yourself and it feels like nothing is helping you feel better. You know that you want to feel like yourself again - you want to feel confident in your ability to parent, you want to feel attached to your baby, you want to find peace.

The therapy is experiential, somatic, attachment-focused and trauma-informed.
Inexplicable anger, unshakable depression, unrelenting anxiety... This is the fallout of unmet needs like care, attention, respect, and presence happening now and probably had happened for significant lengths of time in our childhoods. As I work with people on these chronic and traumatic experiences, they have shown me how these past traumas can be resolved; that you too can get rid of distorted negative beliefs about yourself; that everyone can improve the quality and selection of their relationships; and when we connect to our bodies and minds with wisdom and tenderness, we become sovereign and healed.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, and Certified Partner Trauma Therapist trained in EMDR specializing in sex addictions, couples therapy and trauma.
Do you find yourself making excuses for your secret, compulsive sexual behaviors, thinking that you can stop at any time? You may think that watching porn is not a big deal, because "Everybody does it." The truth is you have been saying, "This is the last time" for years now, and if you are in a committed relationship, then your partner is feeling angry, betrayed and confused. Problematic sexual behaviors can leave you feeling shame and guilt fraught with fear and anxiety. For 15 years, by creating a safe and confidential environment, using specific tools, I have helped distressed people move past their damaging choices and heal.

I practice each intervention through distinctive situations my clients may experience when living with trauma and mental health which can develop symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and co-occurring addictive disorders.
Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

I embody such gratitude in my lived experiences as a second generation Filipina-American, fellow trauma warrior, bold activist for survivors, recovering addict, and sobriety advocate as it has led me to my purpose in helping others on their healing journey.
As a resilient survivor of decades of trauma, I am passionate about serving children, adolescence, adults, and their families to promote healing from physical, emotional, sexual, intergenerational, and racial traumas. With 19 years serving populations with varying neurodiversities (ADHD, ASD, developmental delays), mental health struggles, and marginalized communities with complex traumas (e.g., substance abuse, domestic violence, sexual trauma, oppression), I am dedicated to empowering others to access their most authentic selves and journeying alongside people as they create a purposeful life that is meaningful for them.

My practice focuses on trauma recovery, where we address the hurt as you reattune to your innate wisdom during life transitions such as career shifts, relationship struggles, or rediscovering who you are.
My heart lies in helping individuals heal from the emotional wounds that hinder their personal and professional growth. Experiencing harm, like interpersonal violence or vicarious trauma, can lead to feelings of being lost or disconnected from oneself. Struggles with anxiety and uncertainty about one's identity and direction in life make it challenging to navigate life changes. Together, we will work to reclaim your narrative and cultivate resilience, fostering deeper connections both within yourself and the collective.
