My clinical experience includes trauma focused care, suicide prevention and integration of behavioral health medicine with a goal to facilitate better patient outcomes for patients with mental health disabilities.
Isolation can be exhausting and can make hope feel far away—but you don’t have to go through it alone. I offer a warm, supportive space for individuals and couples working through trauma, anxiety, depression, and long-standing patterns, with a deep belief that healing and growth are always within reach. I’ve always felt drawn to understanding emotional well-being and the powerful role human connection plays in nurturing it. I feel genuinely grateful to do work that centers on connection and healing—it truly feels like a gift.

Do you seem to be keeping up on the outside, but struggling on the inside? Many Filipino American & Asian American teens &young adults (16–26) carry a quiet weight: the pressure to perform, the guilt of struggling when your family has sacrificed so much, the fatigue of living between cultures & expectations. It can show up as anxiety, low mood, burnout, or difficulty focusing — even while you keep meeting expectations at school, work, & home. Sometimes the hardest part is not knowing what to name how you're feeling or worrying about letting anyone down if you do. I'm a board-certified psychiatric NP offering holistic care
