I have an interest in cognitive psychology (memory, perception, language) and affective neuroscience (emotions, social behaviours, psychosomatics) for helping with anxiety/panic attacks, depression/grief, trauma/stress and relationship management, and issues related to ADHD (executive functioning, rejection sensitivity, etc.).
Hello! Thank you for considering me as your therapist. Inspired by the Filipino gesture of "akbay," my approach is one of warmth, trust, and understanding, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth. I recognise and respect your unique experiences, so that you can be in therapy as you are. I practice with safety and inclusivity for all individuals. I primarily draw on attachment-based, trauma-informed, and cognitive-behavioural perspectives and use a holistic approach to therapy that incorporates thoughts, feelings, body/sensations, and behaviours towards positive outcomes.

Whether navigating identity, anxiety, or depression, we’ll tailor sessions to your needs.
As children of migrant parents, we know what it’s like to feel unheard, caught between cultures, and unsure of where to turn. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to be the kind of therapists we once needed—ones who understand the weight of culture, faith, and identity. We offer a safe, supportive space that’s both culturally and spiritually sensitive. Our approach is person-centred and trauma-informed, tailored to your story. With empathy and practical tools, we’ll support you to heal, grow, and reconnect with your sense of self.

One of the miraculous things about being queer or trans is that our experiences do not fit in any box. Yet at times, we find ourselves isolated and uncertain, navigating our lives without a blueprint. Whether you are courageously working to heal troubled relationships with eating and food (including intersections with gender dysphoria or neurodivergence), navigating IVF, pregnancy or miscarriage as a queer person, working out non-normative relationship structures and transitions, or seeking to connect wiith what helps you to stay alive in this world, counselling with me is a safe and trusting space to reflect, heal and grow.

Your teen might be putting enormous pressure on themselves by studying for hours until midnight and still dreading tests, or constantly wondering if they are good enough no matter how hard they try. Maybe you’ve noticed that they’re more irritable, or you feel like you don’t know your teen anymore. They want to succeed, but their stress and overwhelm are getting in the way, and you aren’t sure how to help.
