Hello, kumusta! I’m Mayu. If you grew up in a space where mental health was rarely talked about or even dismissed, you’re not alone. I’m here to offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and valued, just as you are. You might be navigating cultural identity, life transitions, or the quiet weight of others’ expectations. Maybe you're seeking clarity, self-understanding, or simply a space where you don't have to explain yourself. Whatever brings you here, we’ll explore your goals, values, and needs, creating space for reflection, acceptance, and meaningful change at your own pace.
I take a person-centred approach, tailoring therapy to your unique needs. Some work best in unstructured, reflective spaces. Others thrive with clear tools and strategies. Many prefer a blend of both. We’ll discover what feels most supportive for you so you can get the most out of therapy. I also offer therapy in Filipino.
As a BIPOC woman who immigrated from the Philippines, I understand the challenges of cultural transition and identity. My work with diverse communities including those impacted by HIV, systemic barriers, and end-of-life care, has deepened my commitment to supporting growth and resilience. It would be my honour to be part of your journey toward healing.
