“I am who I am connected to. I am because we are.” This is called Kapwa, and within the Filipino culture, it means inclusiveness is the moral obligation to treat one another equally. This is how I approach therapy with all my clients. I am accepting new clients 18+, specializing in complex trauma, suicide loss, grief, attachment trauma, and BIPOC/AANHPI cultural issues. I believe the path we walk often has been carved for us through culture and generations of trauma that have been passed down to us. Methods I use are Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, and Relational-Cultural Therapy.

Neurofeedback is a unique, drugless approach to addressing brainwave imbalance. The goal of Neurofeedback is to transform a dysregulated brainwave imbalance into a normal, regulated, organized pattern. By doing this, the brain becomes more stable and can operate optimally and efficiently. Research demonstrates Neurofeedback's efficacy in managing many neurological conditions such as ADHD, Migraine and Tension Headaches, Insomnia, Chronic Pain, Post Stroke Syndrome, Anxiety and Panic Attacks, as well as many others.

It has been shown time and again the relationship between client and counselor is the most important part of a therapy experience. It is always on my mind to ensure that our relationship remains entirely focused on you, but as a part of the collaborative duo that will become client and therapist I’m happy to share a bit about myself. Relationally, I have been described as down-to-earth, authentic and sincere and I enjoy laughing and celebrating with clients in the therapy space as well. With humility and curiosity I am eager to hear about your life experiences. Licensed in TN (license 3396) & Virginia (license 0701010748)

I have a passion for helping individuals and couples work through conflict by providing hands on tools for daily challenges. I also have a desire to help those who struggle with addiction in all forms, not just substances. I offer trauma informed therapy for individuals who have endured complex trauma of all kinds including grief and loss. If you suffer from anxiety or depression I provide more than just “talk therapy” with Brainspotting. I have a background in the public school system in Nashville. I will see both adolescent or adult clients on a sliding scale, and I am in the process of getting paneled with Aetna, Cigna, and BCBS.

I have been in the field for over 27 years. I have experience helping people of all ages with anxiety, panic, disorder, and trauma. I am a License Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner, and Herbalist. I have found that combining cognitive behavior therapy, E.F.T., and exploring an individual's core limiting beliefs can be practical tools. As many of these tools have been helpful to me in my own healing journey.

I specialize in working with men and women who are struggling with low self-esteem and seeking to build confidence and self-worth.

Do you often feel like you are not meeting your own standards? Do you feel stuck in uncertainty, unable to move in the best direction? Is it hard for you to feel satisfied? Do you desire more fulfilling relationships with others? Growing up, you may have encountered people who were critical of your performance / appearance, and who burdened you with unrealistic expectations. This can make it difficult for you to feel happy with your achievements and quiet your inner critic. You may be numbing some of the pain with unhealthy choices that are starting to feel just as inescapable. If this resonates, therapy could be a good next step.

Welcome to the next chapter of your journey to better. My approach to counseling is client driven, individualized and solution focused. Therapy is designed to help each person develop an awareness of the current challenge and work towards alternate ways to manage life.

I know it can feel so isolating to experience anxiety, depression, or just mental health concerns you cannot explain. Although many people experience these things, healing is best fostered in relationships. Together, we can help that "loud speaker" put the microphone away.

I believe that people can have the power to take control over what has left them feeling powerless before and shape their own reality. I’ve been in the mental health field for the last five years with additional experience in residential facilities, support groups, and addiction centers. I’ve have worked with various types of populations in trauma, addiction, behavioral health, and a wide range of other mental health issues. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Choice Therapy. I do psychotherapy with families, couples, and individuals from ages 13 and up.

Life is full of twists and turns, filled with traumas and hardships that we cannot predict or control. We develop coping mechanisms to survive, to protect ourselves from pain and turmoil. These coping mechanisms may have served you well in the past, but now they may be holding you back, causing more harm than good. Through therapy, we can unearth these defense mechanisms and unravel the wounds that lie beneath. Traumas can build up over time, clouding our vision. By healing these wounds, you can begin to see yourself and the world more clearly, and shed the layers of protection that no longer serve you.

Recognizing one's need for healing is a huge step and I am honored that you may consider my support in your journey!

Often our feelings of sadness, shut down, or overwhelm are signals that something important needs our attention. If you are often fearful of getting stuck in your emotions or worry you don’t know what to do with your emotions when they arise, then therapy can provide a supportive environment to gain more clarity and insight to your emotional patterns and unmet needs. People pleasing, perfectionism, and procrastination patterns can be healed through exploring the triggers we have in the present and the root of those triggers in our past. In therapy, I prioritize your sense of safety, connection, and autonomy.

I work with adolescents and young adults experiencing behavioral concerns and life stressors, managing anger, anxiety, depression, peer relationships and self-esteem. My goal is for each client to feel safe and understood while they gain the skills and strength to enact change.

I work with young adults who are dealing with anxiety, big life changes, and self-esteem concerns. Life can be stressful, and it is tough to keep looking like you’ve got it all together when you’re feeling overwhelmed. If you often overthink things, are really hard on yourself, or find it easier to focus on others rather than your own needs, I would love to help.
