As a cis-gender queer man and a first-generation Filipino immigrant, I work from a socially conscious, queer-affirming, and inclusive lens.
Through years of life transitions, we experience moments of joy and vitality, as well as challenges and obstacles that could make us feel stuck. We may begin to question ourselves and view the world around us differently, and could lead to feelings of loss, hopelessness, and disconnection similar to a fallen tree. Therapy is a space for connection – connecting to your inner self and with others. I can support you in co-creating space to express your way of being and relating as you experience your depths of emotions by bringing awareness to the present moment with creativity, curiosity, and compassion nourishing your deep roots.

I also offer therapy in Filipino.
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 draw from my lived experiences as a co-parent, Filipino immigrant to Canada, queer, neurodivergent, and in trauma recovery.
I specialize in working with people with BPD and their loved ones, navigate their relationships. I do this in individual, couples, or family settings. I believe those with BPD (or any diagnosis like ADHD and OCD) can heal and thrive by applying interpersonal and emotion regulation skills. I also speak Tagalog and offer unique insights into Filipino families.

I am committed to accompanying you through every stage of your healing journey, helping you construct a felt sense of self that is safe and worth cherishing.

I help clients with relationship and life adjustment difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, women’s and 2slgbtqia +issues.

Are you neurodivergent? So am I. I'm an AuDHD (autistic & ADHD) therapist with experience in supporting neurodivergent, racialized, and trauma-impacted communities. The people I've worked with often struggle with their neurodivergent traits, are second generation immigrants trying to navigate two different cultures at once, are racialized individuals looking for a safe space, and/or have been impacted by trauma in some way. I've helped folks work towards growing and healing from the mental health struggles that come with these experiences.

Sometimes , the journey of life can be a rough one. You feel lost, defeated, alone, and full of fear. But you haven’t given up. There’s a part of you that tells you that somehow there’s still hope, that you just need a helping hand.
