I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker committed to creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel completely safe and free to be themselves, without fear of judgment. My approach to therapy is based on the belief that our thoughts significantly impact our mood and behavior, and many of these thoughts are deeply rooted from early childhood. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, and other life challenges.

The journey to parenthood is one of the most meaningful and life-changing experiences we go through as human beings. It is a journey that can be filled with great joy, but at times it can also be a heavy, heartbreaking, and even lonely road to travel. Experiences such as birth trauma, obstetric violence, infertility, and loss can leave us feeling broken and uncertain as to how to move forward. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can ultimately take a profound toll during this precious season of life.

Hi there, I'm Janette! I am a second-generation Filipino. I understand resistance in seeking out and utilizing therapy. As I continue to find my way through this journey, I hope to work with others who have also experienced such struggles and understand how transformative therapy can be. My approach is integrative, pulling from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). Through my experiences and learning, my approach has grown to be more mindful with incorporating a trauma-informed and decolonized lens.

Clients often come to me feeling “stuck” between wanting closeness and needing protection. Therapy with me is not about pushing or fixing—it’s about understanding your patterns, restoring internal trust, and creating more ease in how you relate to yourself and others. I hold space for the full range of your story- both the pain and the strength. I see therapy as a co-created space where we untangle survival strategies that no longer serve you. I'm rooted in the depth of soul-work, exploration, and mind-body principles. Are you ready to make a decision that can change your life? Your story isn't finished, it's about to get powerful!

Grief touches every part of us—our emotions, our energy, even how we see ourselves. Maybe you’re carrying the deep pain of losing a loved one or the more subtle, but equally profound, grief like the loss of friendships, career changes, or the quiet ache of unmet expectations. Or perhaps you’re moving through a major life transition that has left you feeling stuck, uncertain, or off balance. What I want you to know is this: you don’t have to stay in that place forever. Grief isn’t a problem to fix—it’s a signal, a story, and sometimes a door.

I believe in working with children, teens, and adults through a combination of guidance and direction. Therapy can involve relieving stress in family relationships and improvement in overall quality of life for those in treatment. A lot of time and energy are spent with all other aspects in life, why wouldn't we invest growth and enrichment with our loved ones?

You’re constantly told that you are strong—you wake up, smile, and keep it moving, even when you’re running on empty. You hold in your needs, afraid to disappoint others, constantly balancing the weight of family expectations with your own dreams. You overachieve, you please, and you rarely slow down. Deep down, you’re craving peace, joy, and the freedom to set boundaries without guilt. You deserve to feel seen, supported, and finally put you first. Your body holds generations of trauma, yet it also holds the wisdom to heal. Together we can reestablish your internal safety and promote a healthy mind and body connection.

You are not a problem to be solved, rather, you're a person to be understood. You've been through some difficult and painful experiences in your life. Sometimes you can’t stop the tears from streaming down your face. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by anxiety - even to the point of having a panic attack. It can come out of nowhere, and you don’t understand what triggered it or how to make yourself feel better.
