Accepting New Clients (Sep 2026): You're a highly sensitive person who people-pleases, has a hard time setting boundaries, and struggles to regulate big emotions. You have read the self-help books, podcasts, tried meditation, journaling, exercise, clean eating, watched all the therapy Instagram reels - maybe you even tried therapy before, but you felt like you were just talking about your problems. You need somebody to help you actually PROCESS what’s going on, not just listen. You need somebody who can hold you accountable to making real change in your life, and (lovingly) call you on your shit

Are intense reactions making it harder to develop and maintain relationships? Are you feeling stuck and unable to find your place in life? I have been there; you do not have to do it alone. I draw insights from my lived experiences as an immigrant and survivor/thriver of life and integrate inner knowing, compassion, and neuroscience to create spaces for relief, healing, and transformation. My passion is journeying with women, gender-diverse adults and immigrants who have experienced relational trauma, leading to addictions, perfectionism, compulsions & feelings of sadness, depression, anxiety or anger.

My culturally sensitive approach, rooted in Filipino heritage, guides expertise in trauma, grief, relationships, and emotional well-being.
If you’re here, you might be exhausted, stuck, or desperate for clarity and relief, and part of you may wonder if change is really possible or lost on where to start. Even when we acknowledge or validate our feelings with words, it can still feel hard to believe them. In our work together, we’ll create a space that is both compassionate and real, encouraging the parts of you ready for growth while also learning to tolerate the discomfort of change. We’ll explore your struggles, confront patterns that hold you back, and work toward a felt sense of safety, self-worth, and clarity.

Not accepting new clients
Malinaw (Mah-Lee-Now) is a Filipino word meaning “clear” or “clarity,” and reflects the kind of space I hope to create in therapy.
I support adults navigating anxiety, relationships, cultural and family expectations, trauma-related symptoms and life transitions. Brainspotting is a key part of my work, helping clients gently explore what may be hard to put into words. I also draw from somatic, attachment, mindfulness and cognitive approaches.

Whether you’re navigating ADHD, depression, perfectionism, boundary struggles, low self-esteem, relationship/career challenges, or healing from traumatic experiences, I offer a supportive, holistic space for restoration and self-discovery.

Therapy in English, Tagalog & Bisaya/Cebuano
You've probably spent a long time trying to make life work before ending up here.
Maybe you've become good at functioning while quietly feeling disconnected from yourself. Maybe nothing is "falling apart," but something doesn't feel quite right anymore. That's usually where we start. Not with a diagnosis or a treatment plan. With curiosity about what your life has actually been asking of you — and what it might look like to stop carrying it the same way.

Are you caught in a frustrating loop of misunderstandings? Perhaps intense emotional reactions are creating distance, or you're navigating the complexities of a neurodiverse relationship. Alternatively, seeking individual or couples support with managing emotional dysregulation or moving through a world not built for your neurodivergent brain may have left you feeling exhausted and burnt out. When your relationship is unsteady or your nervous system is overwhelmed, it impacts everything. You might feel misunderstood, isolated, or stuck in painful cycles. Your experiences are valid, and you don't have to figure this out alone.

Hi, I’m Andrea, and I go by Drea! I aim to create a supportive space for people who have been marginalized because of their identities or life experiences. I have worked with children, youth, older adults, and people from BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. My approach may be a good fit if you feel “stuck”, overwhelmed, or isolated. You don't need to be able to put it into words, we can explore these experiences together through art and present-moment awareness. I believe everyone is an artist, and that the process matters more than the final result. Using shapes, colours, and images can help process buried thoughts and feelings.
