I offer a strengths-based, culturally sensitive approach, using cognitive-behavioral therapy ( CBT) and mindfulness.
My ideal client is someone navigating multiple identities—whether they're first-generation, LGBTQ+, or managing cultural expectations. As a bisexual, first generation Filipina woman, I can understand that they may be struggling with feelings of stress, anxiety, or a sense of not fitting in, which has impacted their self-esteem or mental health. They want a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore these challenges, better understand themselves, and build resilience. Ultimately, they seek healing, self-acceptance, and the ability to balance their authentic self with the world around them. They are ready to feel heard, seen, and validated.

My interventions are primarily cognitive behavioral therapy, identifying how clients’ thoughts and feelings are manifested in behaviors resulting in both positive and negative consequences.
In a chaotic and ever-changing world, take a moment to stop and see all the beauty within yourself, others, and in the world around you. We become so entrenched in doing and being everything to everyone, we lose focus of ourselves, and the premise that life is not about just reaching the goal but enjoying the journey along the way. Without the proper tools to maneuver through the challenges we face, we can stagnate with just surviving and not thriving.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
