Knowing how overwhelming and uncomfortable life transitions can be, I provide a safe and nurturing space to process issues and life-changes, with the end-goal of achieving equilibrium in the pursuit of joy, happiness and contentment. Whether it is a teen struggling with anxieties and depression, or a couple separating, a career retirement or empty-nesting, we can find your life-purpose, at any age.

Struggles in your relationship can be overwhelming and confusing where you're constantly arguing over small things and feel a growing distance as a couple. "How did things get to this point and how do I fix it?" I want you to know that I understand because I have been in your shoes. I know the pain and frustration that comes with feeling disconnected in a relationship.

As a 1st/2nd generation immigrant or BIPOC, you’ve learned to be a chameleon, to mask and alter yourself in order to gain acceptance and survive. You’re one person around family and a completely different person at work or around friends. You want to be in relationship with others but haven’t been able to find a way to honor your own needs as well. Call it people-pleasing, or call it survival mode. Either way, altering yourself may have worked for you in the past, but it doesn’t feel like it’s working anymore.

Despite being in love, committed, loyal, and giving - life is hard and your relationship is full of broken promises, fighting, lack of connection, ruined holidays, and stressful vacations. Your constant concern for your loved one gets in the way of the life you want in so many ways. You feel guilty for being frustrated and drained. And you're worried that taking care of yourself is selfish and may lead to disaster. But you're running on empty, and you don't know how much more you can take.

Kamusta po, kababayan! Kapag ang buhay po ay mahirap, pansinin natin kung paano tayo kumilos, gumanti, o magisip. Ngunit hindi ko mababago kung paano mangyayari ang ating buhay, bakat' naman mabago natin ang ugali kung saan nagdudurot ng parusa at paghihirap. Mahirap ang buhay sa Amerika, ramdam ko din ang paghihirap sa bagong bansa. Pero hindi ibig sabihin ikaw ay nagiisa; tara't magusap tayo.

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.
