I am an Art Psychotherapist and Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. I am eclectic in my approach to therapy, as one approach does not fit all, and I employ methods from several modalities. In broad terms, my therapeutic stance is holistic and person-centered. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a powerful agent of change and, therefore, I value building trust and a strong rapport with my clients. Additionally, as an art therapist, I believe engagement in art making is life-enhancing and that bringing the creative process into therapy facilitates healing and growth.

Counseling is a journey and our first step is to define where you want to go. I see myself walking besides you in this journey and guiding you towards your chosen destination. Counseling consists of defining problems, understanding relevant history, and designing interventions to alter behaviors, feelings, attitudes, and thought patterns. My intention is to listen, validate, and empower your abilities. I hold compassion to those that want to process their thoughts and feelings. Your journey is unique, and I'm here to help you every step of the way.

Your inner thoughts and emotions are causing you to feel at times, hopeless or overwhelmed, feeling disconnected from yourself, your partner or those around you. Your sense of self becomes dysregulated and you are off balance. You have low energy, diminished self-confidence, feeling isolated from family and friends. The future, and the positive parts of your life, are hard to see. You know something doesn't feel right and you want to feel better, want to express yourself and get onto the path of healing.

My therapy work is rooted in a systemic approach with children, adolescents, couples, and families experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting challenges, grief, etc... . Through my own identities and experiences as a 1.5 generation immigrant from the Philippines, being raised in Los Angeles, and as an educator for over 20 years, I understand the impact of harm and losses that carry from generation to generation caused by systems that are not made for us. They surface in our lives and within our relationships.

I specialize in empowering teenagers and adults to enhance their quality of life by healing both large and small traumas through Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing(EMDR) and cognitive behavioral therapy. EMDR can greatly reduce emotional reactivity to past trauma, even in the most challenging cases. As many undesirable symptoms—such as depression, anxiety, and unhealthy coping behaviors—stem from unprocessed trauma, addressing this pain can lead to transformative change. I guide clients through this healing journey with compassion and expertise, utilizing a deep understanding of how trauma affects the nervous system.
