I speak tagalog and have many Filipinos that prefer someone that has grown up in the Phillippines. I grew up in The Phillippines and understand the culture and can relate to the acculturation and immigration challenges when adjusting to family family life in the USA. Sacrifices to establish work, a career, parenting and even how religion affects how we will fit in, belong and adjust in our new environment can interfere with family bonding. I have helped families in this community with their deep values in the Catholic and Christian Communities. Many marriages and families have been able to aid in deepening bonds after therapy.

Voted Best Family Therapist in 2021! Our therapists assist individuals, couples, parent/child dyadic relations, family systems, other traditional/non-traditional relationships (ethical non-monogamy). Get assistance with healing in a safe "neutral" space. We listen to your concerns, identify core-rooted issues, and generational patterns that contribute to maladaptive behaviors and patterns. We are culturally competent in Mexican/American, Filipino, and/or African American families. We are LGBTQIA+ affirming therapists.

Seeking for emotional support can be intimidating. It may especially be difficult if you are coming from a culture where addressing mental illness is still stigmatized and can be perceived as “bringing shame to the family”. As a Filipino American, I want to help transform the view of psychotherapy in my community (as well as in other communities). I want to be able to assure individuals that it is alright to reach out to a professional to share what they are going through. To encourage the utilization of such resources in able to feel more empowered.

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.

If you are experiencing a difficult time dealing with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, stress, low self-confidence, relationship conflicts, challenging life transitions, or other burdensome issues, I would love to help. My approach to therapy is to provide mental and emotional support along with practical feedback. I offer each of my clients a highly personalized approach by integrating complementary techniques and methods. With compassion and understanding, I work with each client to help instill hope, and facilitate healing, change and growth so that they may achieve a sense of fulfillment and a life of contentment.

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.

Are you struggling in relationships or individually? Do you feel that your connections with other people can be better? Do you have a spouse, children, extended family or friends that you feel that you can have a better relationship with? Let me explore ways in which I can help you improve your relationships with others. I support individuals to identify what they want out of life, gain a clear picture, and develop a strategy to attain the desired results. My specialty is working with cultural humility, mood disorders, life changes, adults, mixed race family, adults with substance use issues, children and adults with young children.

Do insecurities or anxieties weigh heavily on your mind? Are you grappling with procrastination, feeling inundated with tasks? Perhaps recent life changes or world events have left you feeling drained and disheartened? Have you ever felt sidelined or marginalized? If any of these resonate with you, therapy offers a supportive avenue for healing. It's time you feel happy, empowered, motivated, secure, supported, confident, and loved. Together, we'll clarify your goals, implement actionable steps, and forge a path toward a fulfilling life that resonates with your core values.

You might be feeling stressed, lost, confused, overwhelmed, or stuck. Your thoughts and emotions feel “too much” that you just want them to stop. Maybe you've had enough of behavior patterns that get in the way of your self and your relationships. Maybe you've experienced life events that hold you back from being your most self. Or maybe you are unsure of where to even start. But here you are open to learning different ways of coping, being, and living. I can provide services for children, teens, and adults for online individual therapy.

Are you struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment, cultural identity issues, and/or life transitions? You're not alone. I help individuals rewrite their narratives and find freedom from suffering. I have extensive experience working with BIPOC, AAPI, Filipinx, LGBTQIA+, couples, and adolescents.

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.

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.

Perhaps you are visiting today to obtain answers to confusion, peace in the torment, clarity from the chaos, healing from the pain. Maybe you just want someone to understand your pain. You might be feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or hopeless. Whatever your reasoning may be, I am dedicated to help you achieve hope and healing. Thank you for taking the first step to work toward your personal healing journey. I am passionate about understanding, accepting, and empathyzing with my clients. I approach therapy holistically, which encompasses spirit, body, and mind.
