I enjoy working with individuals navigating their anxiety, feelings of walking between two cultural worlds, complex grief & loss, depression, family dynamics, forced displacement, gender identity, intergenerational trauma, all life stage transitions, spirituality, & relationship with a breast cancer diagnosis. With a trauma-focused & intersectional lens, I primarily work with adolescents, young adults & elderly people from AAPI, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrant & refugee communities. I focus on 1.5 and 2nd generation Filipino/a/x & South Asian American Immigrants, young adults with breast cancer & older adults chronic comorbidities.
In partnering with me to build a mutually safe, respectful and trusting therapeutic relationship, I strive to collaboratively create a supportive, empowering and culturally humble space with you. Here, you can freely express all your emotions, experiences and even laugh at the mundane, knowing that I am with you through both bumpy and smooth rides.
I genuinely believe that you are the captain of your own ship and I’m here to guide you when a windy storm is ahead. Together, we'll nurture tools and resources to help you reconstruct a healthier connection with yourself and others, so you can continue sailing smoothly through your life changes.
