Hi there! I am a second-generation Filipinx-American therapist from Union City and based in Los Angeles, California. With experience in the home, school, and medical settings, I have provided 1:1 therapy, family counseling, support groups, Mental Health First Aid training, coalition-building, and supervision for clinicians and interns as the clinical program manager for a non-profit agency. With the understanding that wellness is holistic and the arts are healing, I am inspired by people’s stories and believe in the therapeutic elements of self-expression for personal growth and greater social change.
I provide psychotherapy for youth ages 12 and older, individual adults, and families. My specialization is children and adolescent mental health. Other specializations include depression, anxiety, trauma, mindfulness, peer relationships, family dynamics, behavioral issues, neurodiversity (Autism Spectrum, ADHD), creative arts, and Filipino-American values.
I strongly believe in a client’s right towards self-determination and that every person navigates and processes differently. With a person-centered and pro-people approach, I value strengths and explore areas of growth in ways that are understanding of the individual, community, and the systems we live in.
