Whether it is Depression, Anxiety, improving unhealthy behavioral patterns and irrational beliefs, wanting to increase one's well-being, or the beginning of a journey towards healing – I provide a “Client Centered” approach that grants my client a safe space to process their thoughts and emotions. I aim to encourage, provide therapeutic support, and aid my client during their journey towards self-discovery and growth. I strive for collaboration with my client in creating a therapeutic plan that will fit their unique needs during their journey towards achieving their personal goals.

I help guide creative, motivated, open, and spiritually-minded individuals on their journey to reconnect and reintegrate with their true selves. It can be difficult to manage (or even face) all the feelings that come with depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, or cultural identity. Perhaps you're feeling lost right now, but you just know that there's a path and a purpose specific to you. There is a way to feel aligned in all areas of your life, and to live in true fulfillment and joy!

Does your daily life feel like a perpetual "hamster wheel" leaving you feeling helpless, confused and stuck? I know life can be difficult, and it’s not always easy to show up for yourself. You might feel pulled in multiple directions, each task or responsibility vying for your attention. Maybe you’re struggling with burnout, impostor syndrome or low self esteem. Let's work together to go beyond symptom reduction or simply “fixing” the problem. Our work will allow you to explore and identify patterns and/or experiences in your life that are keeping you stuck and lead you toward a path of healing, growth, and change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I earned my Bachelors in Psychology from the University of Guam and my Masters in Social Work with a concentration in mental health from Washington University in St. Louis. I have over 3 years of experience providing client-centered, strength-based, solution-focused, and trauma-informed therapy in community-based mental health services. My training has allowed me to work with diverse populations including adults with severe mental illness and substance use disorders, people who were formerly incarcerated, human trafficking survivors, refugees, and immigrants.

Do insecurities or anxieties weigh heavily on your mind? Are you grappling with procrastination, feeling inundated with tasks? Perhaps recent life changes or world events have left you feeling drained and disheartened? Have you ever felt sidelined or marginalized? If any of these resonate with you, therapy offers a supportive avenue for healing. It's time you feel happy, empowered, motivated, secure, supported, confident, and loved. Together, we'll clarify your goals, implement actionable steps, and forge a path toward a fulfilling life that resonates with your core values.

I believe our lived experiences and hopes for the future provide us with insights to help understand our pain, joy, struggles, triumphs, and deepest questions. The late poet and essayist Audre Lorde reminds us that "our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge." Using an intersectional, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed framework, I embark on a collaborative journey with clients who want to reflect on their experiences and unpack symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and trauma that may impact their relationships and daily lives.

HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN THE STRONG ONE AND FEEL THE PRESSURE TO KEEP SMILING WHEN THINGS ARE AWFUL? DO YOU CHOOSE TO STRUGGLE IN SILENCE BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THAT TALKING ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS IS A BURDEN TO OTHERS? ARE YOU TIRED OF THE SAME UNCOMFORTABLE OR EXCRUCIATING PATTERNS REPLAYING IN YOUR LIFE, CAUSING DISRUPTION IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS? Do you love too hard? Unsure of where you belong; emotionally, culturally, racially, sexually? Are you experiencing betrayal? Feeling embarrassed. Stuck? As a 1st generation FIlipinx American with lived experience in multicultural relationships in Western society, I can help. Experience matters.

I am a depth-trained and results-oriented psychotherapist. My goal is to help you gain self-awareness and teach psychological tools for personal growth and healing in and beyond therapy. If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, a difficult life transition, creative blocks, unhealthy behaviors that you can’t seem to change, or challenges regarding your neurodiversity or sexuality, I will help you use them as opportunities for positive and sustainable transformation. I provide online therapy to individuals, couples, and families using psychoanalytic, somatic, coaching, evidence-based, and psycho-spiritual approaches.

Are you feeling sad more often than usual? Feeling a lot of stress or having anxiety due to work or family demands? Feeling irritable towards your partner? Needing someone to talk to about a traumatic event or losing a loved one? If any of the things listed above relates to you then psychotherapy may help. I admire you for being BRAVE & looking into psychotherapy so pat yourself on the back. As a social worker, I provide psychotherapy to guide & support you as you improve your life.

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.
