Life transitions and unresolved trauma can make us feel like we have become trapped in our own bodies and unable to escape constant worry, anxiety and guilt. Feeling stuck and unable to explore personal worries can affect our abilities to have healthy social interaction, parenting, and family relationships. Thankfully, there is hope and healing beyond trauma. If you are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, difficulties within relationships, or foster care or adoptive related issues, I can provide a safe, unbiased, and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your concerns and move towards healing.

Are you dealing with trauma, anxiety, addiction, stress, grief, or loss? Do you want peace of mind and to enjoy success? I help individuals realign with their integrity and strength to make the changes they want. Using Eastern and Western techniques I help clients 're-story' traumas and anxieties that allow them to achieve their goals. As an ordained Buddhist priest and former Chaplain, I also offer spiritual counseling. My experience training/counseling prisoners in the United States and Indonesia taught me how often we imprison ourselves with our own emotions.

Hi there! I get it...life can be overwhelming. As a Filipina-American with other intersectional identities, I can relate to how difficult it is to balance cultural expectations, family dynamics, and personal identity all while trying to “keep it all together”. One day, you feel like you're "too much" or "not enough”, and then the next day you question what you even enjoy. Maybe you've tried jumping into different careers. Maybe you've read every self-help book on the planet. Maybe you've felt that your self-worth depended on your productivity or external validation. If any of this sounds like you, I think we might be a good fit.

FAQ - Pacific Islander Counseling
What are the advantages of seeing a Pacific Islander therapist?
For many Pacific Islander individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process—an essential foundation for effective care. A significant barrier to mental health treatment for many Pacific Islander individuals is the stigma that may be associated with seeking therapy. A culturally aligned therapist can help reduce this stigma and normalize the therapeutic process. Pacific Islander therapists may also be especially well-equipped to address issues that affect Pacific Islander communities, such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that deeply influence mental health experiences. Providers who personally identify as Pacific Islander may incorporate traditional healing practices, spiritual beliefs, and community-based approaches that align with Pacific Islander values. Additionally, Pacific Islander therapists can serve as important sources of representation within the mental health field and may be familiar with culturally relevant resources, support networks, or other trusted providers who understand the unique experiences of Pacific Islander populations. As a result, they are often well positioned to offer referrals and collaborate with other professionals, helping to ensure care that honors both clinical best practices and cultural traditions.
How to find a Pacific Islander therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Pacific Islander therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Pacific Islander or who mention working with Pacific Islander populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with Pacific Islander communities, familiarity with cultural and spiritual practices, or a focus on trauma-informed and community-centered care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Pacific Islander, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Pacific Islander clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural knowledge and respect for Pacific Islander values and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also working with a member of the Pacific Islander community for more culturally-specific support.
