If you identify as Polyamorous/Non-monogamous, Kinky, Queer/Trans or Anti-capitalist, you already know the tyrannical way normativity polices “Others” who deviate from conventional cultural scripts. Even more so when your preferred expressions of intimacy and embodiment are deemed “problematic”. I do not equate “healthy” with “normal”. Nor am I prescriptive about how you ought to experience your life & relationships. Living along the fringes of normativity isn’t an easy choice. But it can be a worthy choice, fulfilling and purposeful! And yet it may also be accompanied by high costs that feel compromising to dignity & self-worth.

Do you find yourself feeling fine one moment and suddenly you're overwhelmed by distressing thoughts or confusing emotions? Do you feel like your body has been hijacked by sensations that you can't identify or pinpoint? Do you find yourself disconnected from your life and those things you once enjoyed doing?

I know that feeling and I'm telling you right now, you're not alone.

My practice offers a safe place for reflection and curiosity. Once my clients' lives start functioning better, they find new meaning and purpose. Clients enjoy my proactive approach built on trust and collaboration, with an emphasis on gaining better understanding and connection with themselves and the people in their lives. If you are considering starting therapy, you are likely feeling stuck in feelings of either depression or anxiety; in unsatisfying personal relationships; or in career frustrations. You are often making decisions and acting in ways that are counterproductive.

Calling all over-thinkers, perfectionists & people pleasers! If you feel bound by the shameful “shoulds” that keep you stuck in cycles of problematic patterns, bad habits, unfulfilled relationships & addictive behaviors - I see you. As a gay man and US immigrant, I have lived the “othering” that comes from not belonging to the dominant norms and culture; and I recognize the deep sense of isolating loneliness that follows rejection, harsh judgment & low self-esteem. A recovering perfectionist myself, I get it. I am here to help. Living our lives for others is exhausting. When will enough be enough? When will YOU be enough?

Often in my practice I work with creative, put-together people, but, despite appearances, inside they feel disconnected from themselves and others. Many times these feelings are a response to experiencing trauma. We tend to think traumatic events only include extreme experiences, but trauma can also occur through nuanced events that break our trust in others, ourselves and the world. This can program the brain and nervous system to be highly sensitive to shame, rejection and fear. BUT, through reparative experiences like therapy, neuroscience has shown that the human brain can rewire itself to new ways of thinking and responding.

My practice will support you in fostering not only solace, but also creativity, resilience, balance, agency, authenticity and wellness. We will work together to not strive for perfection, but rather towards an alignment of values, goals and the desired life you wish to have. I don't believe that there is a linear path to healing or change, nor is there one approach. Together, we will define what healing means and looks like for you. Through this journey, I aim to highlight that you already have the ability, knowledge and skills to transform and metamorphose into your highest self while expanding the palette you have to work with.

Hi, I'm Stevie! I'm a queer, second-generation Mexican and Filipina associate therapist and social worker currently based in Long Beach. I am dedicated to creating heart-centered spaces for folks who give so much of themselves to others, but struggle to receive that same care in return. I often work with people who are carrying the heaviness of pent up emotions, life transitions, burnout, intergenerational trauma– and feel disconnected from themselves and others. My sessions feel like casual conversations that encourage you to deepen your understanding and relationships with yourself, your world, and the systems you navigate.

I do not not practice a one-size-fits-all type of therapy (this true for life coaching too). I know it can be difficult to begin a journey of healing-we all want to live a life full of passion, personal happiness, and career success. Yet, trauma and negative patterns, or what I call Tender Spots in the body, and soul can keep us from living our best life. Working with me will not just be about therapy, it will be about connection-to yourself (new self-schemas), connection to your thoughts (bygone those negative thinking patterns!), and a renewed connection to your environment (new world-schemas).

My sessions often look a little different from traditional approaches, and tend to be more direct and synergistic. I help my clients identify patterns and connections that might have been previously overlooked, which helps us uncover deeper insights. I’m naturally curious about your experiences and will ask questions to help us both understand what motivates your behaviors and emotions.

Many people have been there! You are not alone. I can help you understand your anxiety and develop a plan to help you alleviate your anxiety-related discomfort or suffering. I specialize in treating anxiety (i.e. OCD, phobias, social anxiety), but also work with other emotional concerns, such as depression and loneliness. My hope for all my clients is to reach a place of confidence, self-compassion, and acceptance of yourself.

You put up a good front but on the inside you feel like you're falling apart. You're reactive, disengaged and spiraling in your head. You've tried on your own but you need more support and that's okay. We aren't meant to bear things alone. Let me come along aside you as you work through your current stressors, heal from past traumas, explore your family of origin and address any attachment wounds. I know therapy can seem intimidating, especially if you have dismissive parents, internalized shame/guilt or feel like an invisible minority, but sometimes the healing process starts by showing up and investing in yourself.
