One of the hardest things to do in life is to ask for help for yourself. Being a person who was always there to help others, I understand how difficult it can feel to reach out to a therapist. That's why my goal is to help my clients feel safe to open up and talk about what has been weighing on their minds and hearts. I am a first-generation Filipina-American who loves working and living in diverse communities. Through becoming a single mom, I learned that crisis is a time for change and growth. I'm also a dog-mom to a sweet English bulldog who snores like a bear!

You're a high‑achieving person, who’s always been the “strong one.” You wake up with your heart racing and everyone else’s needs in your head. Behind the polished exterior is anxiety, relational trauma, and shame that keeps you silent. You crave a space to unload without judgment, unlearn internalized messages, and set boundaries without guilt. Your goal is to stop performing, reclaim your voice, and live boldly as your whole self grounded, seen, and free to rest without apology. I offer an inclusive, affirming practice that intentionally centers women and LGBTQ+ people.

As a therapist, I am passionate about walking alongside folks as they reveal their truths and vulnerabilities to themselves. I believe, and have witnessed, that people are capable of long standing change with knowledge, support, and connection, and that therapy is a great place for that. You can learn new ways to manage life stressors, feel safe, gain confidence, and live a more joyful and purposeful life. I use cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and strength-based techniques, while never ignoring the human element and connection where the real change happens.

Many of the clients I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life—whether that’s navigating relationships, managing stress, processing past experiences, or coping with transitions that arrived faster than expected. They may feel stuck between who they’ve been and who they want to become. My ideal client is someone who is ready to explore their inner world with curiosity, even if they’re nervous or unsure where to begin. They want to understand themselves more fully, strengthen their relationships, and find healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges. The goal is to create room for change and bring it to life.

I practice each intervention through distinctive situations my clients may experience when living with trauma and mental health which can develop symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and co-occurring addictive disorders.
Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

Life can be confusing, relationships can be stressful, and the present can make you feel anxious or depressed. Sometimes a painful past can surface into the moment, especially when situations are difficult or when you are experiencing major change. During these periods your mood and thoughts can be affected in negative ways. When you are feeling alone, disconnected, or confused, talking things through can make all the difference.
