Therapy is a space that is both engaging and supportive. I aim to create a welcoming environment where you can access therapy as a means to enrich your life. I come from a unique cultural background, being half Salvadorian and half Filipino, a first-generation child of immigrant parents, and part of the LGBTQ+ community. These diverse cultural influences have significantly shaped my personal identity and professional development. This journey of straddling multiple cultures has taught me the richness of our intersectional identities and how we all engage with the world through a complex web of lived experiences.
Narrative Therapy is a collaborative, person-centered approach that honors your experiences and cultural background. Expect a diverse toolbox to help re-author your unique story, incorporating techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, insights from your upbringing, option for EMDR for trauma, and solution-focused therapies.
