Mental illness can feel like a heavy cloud that’s followed you for years — making everything feel harder. Maybe you’ve coped quietly, pushed through, or wondered if this is just how life will always feel. You might be nervous about medication, but something in you is ready to try. If you’re looking for thoughtful, collaborative support, you’re in the right place.
I’m a Board-Certified Physician Assistant specializing in mental health, with extensive experience mood disorders, including treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and complex diagnoses. I take a holistic, biopsychosocial approach and never pressure you into decisions. We’ll move at your pace and create a plan that feels informed and aligned.
My approach is multifaceted. I encourage therapy and lifestyle interventions along with medication. As a Filipino-American provider, I’m passionate about interrupting shame and stigma around mental health. I offer culturally competent care in English and Tagalog. It is my promise that in my care you feel safe, respected, and truly heard.
