Filipino Therapists in Seattle, WA

You don’t have to be alone. Today, your journey to healing begins. I aim to know my client. This allows me to undertand their issues, their needs and their goals. Growing up with disability provided an opportunity for me to rise above discrimination, bullying, racism, oppression, marginalization, anxiety, depression, and face life’s unending challenges. I am fluent and can provide therapy in three languages fluently, English, Ilokano, Tagalog. I am trained in Eastern and Western approaches. I use evidenced based treatment interventions including but not limited to EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Approach.

Do insecurities or anxieties weigh heavily on your mind? Are you grappling with procrastination, feeling inundated with tasks?

Together, we'll clarify your goals, implement actionable steps, and forge a path toward a fulfilling life that resonates with your core values.

I lead with an open heart when sharing space with folks and welcome the vastness of the human experience and all that comes with it: identity exploring, generative conflict, and reflective self-analysis. I enjoy working with folks navigating transitions, moral injury (burnout), and complex trauma. When working with me, you can expect transparency and direct communication, which contribute to my therapeutic approach including client-led conversations, collaborative goal setting, community-centric applications, trauma-informed care, and a liberation-focused lens.

My Clients: I regularly work with clients on common issues such as: major life transitions, depression, anxiety, struggles with work-life balance, racial identity, family of origin issues, grief, trauma, and addiction recovery. I am passionate about working with: People of color, Students, people who identify as possessing multiple minority identities, LGBTQIA+, relationship problems, bicultural stress, cultural adjustment, sexual trauma, and issues related to sexual identity and gender. I am also comfortable working with non-heteronormative relationship lifestyles; particularly navigating issues related to open/poly relationships.

Grief and loss, childhood emotional neglect, domestic violence, and many other challenges and transitions in life affect how we see ourselves and the world we live in. It can lead to powerlessness, hopelessness, unspeakable pain and suffering, shame, emotional upheavals, and/or loss of sense of security. Yet all we seek is the ability to find peace, acceptance, and a strong connectivity with ourselves that lead to better connections with others. We want to be able to clear our view to ultimately see our deeper and meaningful purpose in life. I believe we have the innate capacity to achieve these.

Hello, and welcome! Life can be very challenging and overwhelming at times. I know and I get it. For some, we tend to try to solve our problems on our own and reaching out for help is out of the question; sometimes it works. If you haven't been able to solve it on your own, I would love to meet you, and together we can create ways towards hope and begin the healing process. I believe that therapy can assist you by helping to identify what has worked in the past, what you already have within that you can draw upon in helping to obtain what you are hoping for in life.

Are you unsure about the future of a relationship? Do you feel inadequate, overwhelmed, alone and tired of power struggles? Are you conflicted by advice from family, friends or even other professionals? Are you anxious, extremely sensitive, or intensely critical of self and/or others? Do you become paralyzed from taking action for fear of not meeting self-imposed objectives? Do you feel that you are just existing and not living? I have traveled a very similar path and I understand what you face daily. I can help you learn research-based tools to keep your communications healthy and your relationships strong.
