Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or frustrated much of the time? Are your relationships plagued by conflict and miscommunication? Or, do you feel like you’ve lost direction in life? You are not alone. The demands and stresses of modern life are challenging to navigate, and it’s easy to get off track. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Has trauma, anxiety, or depression interfered with the potential to become the best version of yourself? We often feel defined by traumatic or emotionally difficult experiences then often leave us feeling stuck in place rather than moving forward towards our goals. I’m here to provide a safe, affirming space for you to develop an understanding of yourself to overcome past experiences or fears that define you. Our work together will be met with unconditional acceptance, creative approaches, and the utmost compassion.

People come to therapy for a wide range of issues that can result in feeling stuck, overwhelmed or dejected. I aim to create a safe and respectful environment so each of my clients feel well-supported during vulnerable times. My style is collaborative and active, fostering a connection to client's unique skills and purposes that might appear out of reach. My process encourages the discovery of practices that promote self-awareness, confidence and better relationships. Addressing the dynamics of power, privilege and injustice are an integral part of the healing process, and I am committed to being an ally to those I serve.

The challenges of growing up in today's rapidly changing society are enormous. Children need to be equipped with skills for survival and growth that were never before imagined. I focus on teaching self-healing and self-control techniques that empower youth to develop the emotional skills necessary for a happy and successful life and realize their potential throughout their lifetime. Using the positive power of their imagination, children learn to reduce stress, deal effectively with anger and frustration, reduce stomachaches, headaches, and tics, cope with divorce and death, reduce parental and sibling conflicts, increase concentration, sleep peacefully, and more.

Most everyone experiences some Problems of Living during the course of his or her life. These can manifest as common psychological symptoms or as difficulties in relationship or work. By attending to the contributions that both past experiences and present circumstances make, I work to liberate effort and energy caught in these problems, making that very energy available for the pursuit of wishes and some measure of joy.

My heart-felt passion is to walk with people through life experiences. Throughout the day we are faced with frequent decision-making processes. Our choices (consciously or unconsciously) can shift the direction of our life. Finding your core values and beliefs is a dynamic journey. Therapeutic exploration will revolutionize your ability to process emotions, weigh options, and significantly improve overall decision making. It is my firm belief that through human connection (relationships) we can collaboratively restore internal hope and self-actualization, revitalizing our perceptions and behaviors.

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.

Life can present many challenges. Most of the time, we can successfully handle the trials and tribulations of daily living; but occasionally we get overwhelmed. To help cope and feel much better, we consult a professional who sorts and sheds light on the elements that caused these challenges. In the process, we talk about how we feel and why we feel the way we do. Most importantly, we learn to successfully handle the initiating emotional triggers in a way such that the resultant problems no longer arise. My Los Angeles therapy practice is dediated to being that caring professional.
