An ideal client appreciates their goals for wanting something different. They value the fact that the journey may not be easy, but the self-discovery and increased awareness of self and the world around them makes the journey well worth it. An ideal client will value directness, challenges, and a bit of humor in sessions. I am seeking clients that are ready to take responsibility for their part in the therapeutic process, for we are a team. While working together, be prepared to be honest with yourself, show yourself compassion, and most importantly, experience growth no matter the magnitude. It’s up to you to make the first move.

Are you ready for deep and lasting change? Are you willing to practice self-compassion for those wounded parts that hold you back from a fulfilling life? Therapy is a courageous act of exploring and releasing old wounds, discovering and embracing authenticity, and learning to make conscious choices with compassion. I have nineteen years of experience using a unique blend of integrative therapies that include somatic awareness, mindfulness, Jungian psychology, and spiritually focused counseling that will allow you to uncover subconscious traumatic patterns, internalized cognitive distortions, and maladaptive coping strategies.

I welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds, with a particular focus on Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders (AAPI), and other people of color who are struggling with stress, anxiety, self-esteem issues, childhood trauma, as well as relational and interpersonal challenges. Born in the Philippines, I understand the unique challenges faced by minorities in the United States and recognize the impact of generational trauma on mental health. My experiences have equipped me with a deep understanding of cultural differences, stereotypes, and the weight of familial expectations, all of which can significantly influence mental well-being.

Are you sick and tired of being stuck and feeling pained because of trauma and past painful experiences? Are you not sure about your life story and what it really means to be you? Do you feel slighted, and minimized by others? Do you have few people who really understand where you are coming from? Trauma can bring and keep individuals down sometimes with and even without provocation. If you have not been helped by talk therapy then art therapy coupled with Advanced Integrative Therapy and/or addiction counseling may put you on the fast track to recovery.

I know how it feels to contemplate going to therapy, and I always found it both scary and intimidating. That’s why I aim to make the process as relaxed and down-to-earth as possible. I show up to sessions as my authentic self, and I want you to do the same. As a person-centered and affirming therapist, I believe that we all deserve self-love, healthy and fulfilling relationships, and a life of purpose and joy. I believe that we can heal from past traumas, find our own power, and experience alignment in mind, body, and spirit. The work isn't easy, but I bring humor and humanity into it, and I value the therapeutic relationship.

I value the collaborative nature of this relationship and together we can work in tandem to help achieve your goals. I believe the best outcomes are achieved through a trusting and empathetic relationship between a therapist and a client.
