Therapy is a space that is both engaging and supportive. I aim to create a welcoming environment where you can access therapy as a means to enrich your life. I come from a unique cultural background, being half Salvadorian and half Filipino, a first-generation child of immigrant parents, and part of the LGBTQ+ community. These diverse cultural influences have significantly shaped my personal identity and professional development. This journey of straddling multiple cultures has taught me the richness of our intersectional identities and how we all engage with the world through a complex web of lived experiences.

I'm a PsyPact-licensed psychologist in CA, WA, OR, and 41 other states, and my journey here is deeply personal. Growing up, I often felt out of place, struggling to understand my emotions and navigate adolescence and young adulthood. I know how isolating it can feel to believe something is wrong with you. That experience fuels my commitment to helping others find clarity, connection, and self-compassion as they face their own challenges.

I work with people who seek to develop a richer understanding of their lives and their preferred ways of being, evolving, and flourishing. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that exploring the taken-for-granted and embracing complexity can open up the imaginative possibilities of living.

Hi! My name is Melissa and I was born and raised in the Bay Area by parents who were immigrants from Vietnam. My greatest strength I can share with you is my understanding of the importance of cultural identities and navigating against systems that may clash with your values. I believe change happens when we are ready to step out of our comfort zones and in my approach, I aim to balance challenge with compassion. I’ve spent the last 5 years guiding clients towards healing, acceptance, and self-compassion while they battled with challenges such as anxiety, depression, interpersonal difficulties, and/or trauma.

We could all use extra support sometimes. We'll engage in a thorough exploration of your unique situation, uncovering the underlying patterns and triggers.

Relationship challenges (conflict resolution, dating, attachment wounds, divorce); grief and loss. I also work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues & offer psychoeducation in developing emotion regulation skills.

I am a warm and reflective integrative therapist. My presence is gentle, energetic, attuned and at times humorous. I bring a sense of wonder, spontaneity, and creativity when exploring somatic, relational, and existential issues with clients.
I believe that pain is an outcome of harmful conditions that have resulted in a need for adaptive responses for survival. And, when these responses become entrenched in our bodies and psyches, parts of ourselves become closed off, and agency is diminished. As we resolve the patterns that no longer serve us, we come home to a more expansive sense of self.

The focus is you. People who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and loss sometimes forget that they matter. Other things become more important.

My clients tell me they appreciate how we get them unstuck in difficult times. They find hope and get energized about their life. I work well with cultural, biracial, multiracial and faith based situations. I have helped many individuals, couples, families and children achieve their goals.
