Filipino Therapists in Needham Heights, MA

What is a life worth living for you? This is ultimately the question we will journey into. Our work might explore your ways of relating to the given "problem", reframe particular internalized narratives, educate you on neurobiological frameworks, and/or encourage you to draw upon your own unique heritage, hopes, and motivations toward your behavioral change and your preferred life. I hope to remind each person of the maxim of narrative therapy: "the problem is the problem; the person is not the problem" (White, 1998). So, what story would you like to write through your actions, values, and life?

Currently accepting private pay/out of network clients. I provide one on one psychotherapy based on clients’ strengths and growth points at a collaborated pace. I support clients who need support navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationships/dating, identity-related challenges, imposter syndrome work/life balance and neurodiversity. My clinical training focused on providing trauma-informed culturally conscious therapy to clients who come from many walks of life and intersecting identities, while utilizing kindness, metaphors and a bit of humor in my therapy sessions.

February 2024 UPDATE: I have limited therapy slots (in person only) during the day on Tuesdays. I specialize in adult clients struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and self-confidence. As a therapist, I recognize that life doesn’t always come easy. Relationships can be tricky and life changes can make us feel vulnerable and anxious. Simply put, being human is complicated. Therapy with me will give you the safe space you deserve to talk about life's challenges and navigate through them effectively.

You experience enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, or behaving and interpersonal relationships as significant sources of problems and emotional pain. Pieces of your identity – gender, sexuality, spirituality, ethnicity – seem inherently conflicted. You walk the world with unique gifts and deep sensibilities, yet in times of distress, you find yourself fleeing, fighting, appeasing, or beating yourself up. You've searched far and wide for a therapist who specializes in people with exactly your problem and met nothing but disappointment. The truth is that there is no person with exactly your problem, but you don't have to be alone.

Are you suffering from persistent negative self-talk that has exacerbated your anxiety? Has life been feeling extremely difficult due to depression, recent life transitions, grief and loss or low self-esteem? I want you to know that you've taken the wonderful first step to come here, and I applaud you for doing that. I hope to be able to assist you in handling these difficult struggles so they don't become insurmountable. I'm here to provide a safe, non-judgmental place where you can feel listened to, and together we can work towards the path of your healing and personal growth.
