Don't go it alone! You're making the first step by looking for a therapist. I work with people who are going through life transitions who need help improving their natural coping skills and learning new ones. Many people experience life changes such as the birth of a child, starting college, starting a career, getting married or divorced, parenting, empty nesting, assisting with an aging parent or the death of a loved one. Having worked as a manager in a workplace I can offer support and guidance in workplace conflicts and communication. I provide support as we work together to improve the things that aren't working.

Would you like to improve your relationships, feel less alone, and feel more supported? Our group provides a safe place to build skills, share, learn, and gain support.

We often forget that our first experience of the world is a shared one; that by nature we are relational beings. Which is why therapy can be so powerful. My job is to help you move away from the things that no longer work (perhaps never did), and toward a preferred way of being. Our process together is one of discovery & transformation, and honors both what you are and what you are becoming. You and I will collaborate to create an environment that is safe and supportive (I don't do that alone -- only you know what is safe). Through compassion & curiosity, our therapy will find new narratives and make meaning of old ones.

Are you looking for a safe space to share your feelings; to better understand your emotional self? If you are experiencing relationship problems, feel stuck or blocked, anxious or depressed, we can work together to understand these issues. Sometimes we know that things don't feel right, but can't put our finger on it. Through guided exploration, we can discover underlying causes for these feelings, and develop a more authentic connection with ourselves and with others. I work with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents.
This group is for the mental health provider that would benefit from added support from other mental health providers and therapists. Contact to inquire.

BIPOC - Have you experienced loss or adjusting to change? Life comes with loss and change: the death of a loved one, the loss of health, a break-up. Dealing with any loss and adjusting to major change often negatively affects us, and our emotional well-being and coping habits are sometimes compromised as a result. It is easy to fall into depression or develop anxiety if our coping is not managed and nurtured appropriately. I’m glad you are taking steps to process what change or loss means to you. As an Asian American Filipina, I provide culturally competent therapy services to those managing dual/multi cultural/BIPOC identities.

I hold space for individual adults, couples, children, and adolescents. From depression and anxiety, to life transitions, addiction, identity and relationship problems, I start wherever the client is and work collaboratively towards understanding. Whatever the obstacles between a client and their sense of meaning, purpose, authenticity or alignment, I help them move towards growth and change. I bring awareness and sensitivity to systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma that affect us all in different ways, and I respect the inherent wisdom of my clients' psyches to strive towards wholeness.
Motherhood is not what you expected. You're always on edge, worried about if your baby's stopped breathing while asleep, whether you'll succeed as a mom, or if you'll ever feel like yourself again. You're feeling guilty for not being grateful during this new phase of your life. Why do so many other moms look like they know what they're doing? You are not alone. Come meet other new moms feeling the same way, share stories and support in a nurturing environment. We welcome you here.

There are many reasons to seek out therapy. The ultimate purpose for considering therapy is often to resolve whatever is in the way of having a better life.
As an active, empathic and experienced psychotherapist, my goal is to assist individuals in overcoming the barriers that prevent them from experiencing, the relationships in their lives in a full and rich way. I work to understand each individual's unique struggle, while respecting personal history and cultural background.
Ultimately, I help individuals to see how past experiences and behavioral patterns may contribute to their current symptoms and difficulties.
Guided imagery and metaphors can be a wonderful way to gain additional insight into one’s internal world as this type of therapy can help bypass one’s ego/defense mechanisms. The group will start with a guided imagery exercise. Group members will have a chance to discuss their associations and get associations/feedback from group members. Images can then be utilized in one’s individual therapy for deeper insights. This is a new group so a day and time is still to be determined. Please email your availability if you are interested in participating.

I believe that psychotherapy can be a process of healing, self-discovery, and a path towards feeling more fully alive. Whether you are trying to alleviate troublesome symptoms, achieve a greater sense of well being, and/or achieve more intimacy and closeness with yourself and others, finding a therapist that is a good fit is an essential first step. Together, we will set goals, explore underlying issues, and work towards emotionally and intellectually understanding what is going on to empower you to create the life that you want.
